Hellenic Bipolar Organisation (EDO)
Welcome to the website (edo.org.gr) of the Hellenic Bipolar Organization (EDO)
After many years of absence we are finally EDO (here) for all Greek Bipolar patients, their relatives and friends, as well as health professionals working for the promotion of bipolar (manic-depressive) health.
We are the first non-profit organisation for Bipolar (Manic-depressive) patients in Greece. Our aim is to empower the bipolar patient, and promote bipolar health through support, information and advocacy programmes.
Our EDO officially came to life on 19/06/08, and was founded by Dr. Yanni Malliaris in memory of his father George Malliaris (1942 - 2003), father, professor and bipolar patient.
After many years of existence (2008-today), we continue to be “EDO" and to support Greek bipolarity with every available means.
