Bipolar General: An interview with General Gregg Martin The Ghaemi Psychiatry Podcast
-
- Mental Health
About a year ago, I got to know General Gregg Martin. A decorated combat leader from the Iraq war, he had been forced to resign as president of the National Defense University about a decade ago, because of a severe manic episode. Up to then, he had a decades-long career as a successful military leader. His manic episode was followed by severe psychotic depression, psychiatric hospitalization, mistreatment with multiple antidepressants, and eventual full recovery on lithium. About a decade later, he’s telling his story in his new memoir, and on this podcast.
Listen to his incredible experience.
