💨 Abstract

Heston Blumenthal, a celebrity chef with bipolar disorder, shared his experience of being sectioned under the UK’s Mental Health Act, emphasizing its benefits. People with bipolar disorder face a high suicide risk, with up to 50% attempting suicide and 15-20% dying by suicide. Lithium, the most common treatment, reduces suicide risk for some, but its side-effects and irregular use pose challenges.
