Type: book-chapter
Abstract: Bipolar disorder is a chronic mental disorder characterized by recurrent mood changes, ranging from manic and hypomanic episodes to depressive states, which can significantly impair an individual’s functioning. This study aimed to analyze the social and professional impairments caused by bipolar disorder, considering the clinical, psychosocial, and occupational impacts associated with the condition. This is a bibliographic study based on the analysis of national and international scientific publications from recognized databases. The findings indicate that mood instability, residual cognitive deficits, and social stigma contribute to difficulties in maintaining interpersonal relationships and employment stability. Furthermore, social and occupational exclusion is related not only to clinical symptoms but also to the lack of inclusive public policies and institutional support strategies. It is concluded that addressing the social and professional impairments associated with bipolar disorder requires a comprehensive approach, including continuous treatment, psychosocial support, and actions aimed at promoting inclusion, autonomy, and citizenship.
