## Resource

Bipolar disorder is a complex mental health condition that can deeply affect a veteran’s life — impacting mood, judgment, work, and relationships. The VA recognizes bipolar disorder as a rateable mental health condition, and veterans struggling with it may be eligible for significant disability compensation. In this episode, we’ll explain how the VA rates bipolar disorder, how to prove service connection, what evidence you need, and how to navigate the claims process with confidence.
