The covid-19 already exists for 3 years. People have suffered a lot during these years not only physically, but also mentally. The pandemic caused a rigorous environment for citizens by bringing some difficulties, such as unemployment. People are having more and more pressure that they cannot deal with. Thus, there should be a feasible solution to help people prevent and cure mental harm from the pandemic. Bipolar disorder is one of the mental disorders that could be caused by pressure, so the policy and effect of the pandemic might become the cause of it. This paper aims to explore how the Covid-19 have affected patients with bipolar disorder. The findings revealed that Covid-19 cuts down on therapies and cause more mental pressure for patients with bipolar disorder. There will be ways to prevent and solve these problems. People should learn to balance their feelings and ignore the negative sounds from outside. When there are too much pressure people can take, they could take some psychotherapy and find ways to release the burden.
