Understanding Depressive and Bipolar Disorders

Understanding Depressive and Bipolar Disorders is a free website designed to help college counseling and other healthcare professionals learn to better distinguish between depressive disorders (e.g., major depressive disorder) and bipolar disorders in the college student population.

UBDB provides key information about these mood disorders, key questions to ask when evaluating students, useful tools and tips for differentiating among types of depression and case studies.

UBDB.org was funded through a grant from Eli Lilly and Company.
