Strategies for occupational recovery processes in individuals with bipolar disorder type I: a qualitative study
The narratives of individuals with BD-I show that two types of recovery can be experienced in relation to work: recovery after an acute mood episode and a longer lasting recovery process that is intertwined with several aspects of daily working life. We identified three different types of strategies that participants with BD-I implement to create a fitting employment situation and that it might depend on the type of recovery process which strategies are most helpful.
