    Bi-Polar: From Broken to Blessed with author & filmmaker Sara Schley

    Filmmaker and author Sara Schley shares how it took her 25 years and 5 psychiatrists to receive the correct diagnosis leading to the correct medication and treatment for Bi-Polar II. 

    It's a story that is worth hearing from her and reflects some of the real issues in our medical and mental health care systems. 

    1 out of 4 people who appear to have major depression actually have a form of Bi-Polar and something like 7 million Americans have a bi-polar brain.

Amazing Podcast!

I recently listened to the episode about brain health with Dr. Love. As someone with multiple traumatic brain injuries it was interesting to hear some of the information he shared. Julian does a great job of bringing out the information that offers people a different perspective on topics.
