Meet our Global Community
Welcome to ISBD’s chapter page. ISBD has fostered a global network of like-minded organizations dedicated to advancing bipolar disorder research and care. Here you will find links to our chapters and featured chapter content.
ISBD Chapters – Global Mission, Local Impact
ISBD Chapters are independent organizations that share the mission and values of the ISBD and provide mutual benefit. Chapters allow us to both feed regional expertise into the Society while creating opportunities for chapters to tap Society resources and programming.
Chapter Spotlight
KenBiS, the Dutch chapter of ISBD, has worked closely over many years with the Society on a number of programs, including hosting our international conference at the VU University in Amsterdam in 2016. The chapter encourages early career researchers to participate in national networks for bipolar disorder and has established a Younce Science Day to support this goal. The chapter also participates in World Bipolar Day and works closely with organizations led by those with lived experience of bipolar disorder. To learn more about KenBiS, visit
