2Polarities is dedicated to providing a voice for those who feel they cannot be heard, guidance for those who feel misunderstood, and a community for those who feel they're alone. You are not alone.
Our Mission
2Polarities offers an opportunity to help persons in financial need gain access to support by providing therapeutic agencies with donated funds. We hope to build a community for individuals, families, and friends who have felt the effects of bipolar disorder.

It's been said that, “Bipolar is like being on a roller coaster ride. Sometimes you can predict drop offs and others you just have to hang on because the next turn sends you into an unexpected spiral. Sometimes you are laughing and throwing your hands in the air and then other times you are clinging, simply holding on for dear life screaming at the top your lungs.” Here's a few statistics that may surprise you:
Bipolar disorder affects approximately 5.7 million adult Americans, or about 2.6% of the U.S. population age 18 and older every year.” (National Institute of Mental Health).
Bipolar disorder is the sixth leading cause of disability in the world. (World Health Organization)
Bipolar disorder results in 9.2 years reduction in expected life span, and as many as one in five patients with bipolar disorder completes suicide. (National Institute of Mental Health)
