- Mantra Health already supports bipolar II disorder through its collaborative telepsychiatry program and has seen successful outcomes in the 2020-2021 school year.
- Building on that success and recognizing there's a lack of care for students with Serious Mental Illnesses (SMIs) on college campuses, Mantra Health has added bipolar I disorder treatment to its program.
- Bipolar disorder affects about 2.8% of the population in the U.S. overall, but roughly 3.2% of college students .
- Adding treatment of bipolar I disorder doesn't change the extensive protocols around safety and risk that Mantra Health already has in place for students.
