Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder that is characterized by fluctuations between mania and depression. For individuals suffering from bipolar disorder, although receiving a diagnosis provides them with a relief that comes through naming and explanation, it can also result in an alienation and containment. In addition to the difficulties they experience due to bipolar disorder, receiving a diagnosis can also be perceived as a stigma, and in this regard, individuals may also encounter social and economic inequalities. The aim of this study will be to examine how individuals diagnosed with bipolar disorder interpret and give meaning to their diagnosis, and how they experience this diagnosis in their daily lives. In order to reach a diverse and rich data, qualitative research will be conducted in the study. For this purpose, semi-structured interviews will be carried out with five to ten individuals who were diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and the data will be analyzed with thematic analysis. Through qualitative analysis, data will be examined in depth, and individuals' interpretations, experiences, and difficulties concerning bipolar disorder diagnosis will be at center of the study. Results will be discussed in the light of various theories such as psychoanalytic and psychodynamic, humanistic, social and cultural approaches, by bridging both clinical and social psychology. By investigating individuals' experiences regarding the diagnosis and treatment processes, problems they may encounter with the health care system, or the challenges they may face on a social or economical level; possible ways to enhance both their physical and mental health, and their socio-economical status will try to be discovered in the present study.
