talkBD Bipolar Disorder Podcast

I really appreciate that this podcast features people who have experienced bipolar disorder and that they talk about what it’s like for them, especially in relation to the topics. It makes for a diversity of perspectives and provides a way to connect with the information that I find very helpful. More of that please!

Excellent talk and very informative!!

The guest speaker who talked about her bipolar I disorder was very helpful in giving insight into what it is actually like to experience not only the disorder, but the growth over the years. I have a close friend who was diagnosed with bipolar I some years ago and I’ve also seen some similar things happen with her, so it made me understand a little bit more. I want my friend to listen to it too now because I think the guest speaker gave some great advice that would make anyone with this condition be hopeful. Things like not dwelling on the years lost and changing your expectations for yourself so that you can actually be happy - rather than live up to some arbitrary and unrealistic standard that society set for us (and that we internalize too).

This is such a wonderful podcast that presents an opportunity to understand not only Bipolar Disorder but also the impacts of the illness on very real people. Highly recommend for anyone who may be struggling with BD, family members of individuals with a BD diagnosis, or anyone with an interest in psychology.
