Newbie's Guide To Bipolar Disorder; 10 Keys to Understanding Your Impairment

I was diagnosed nearly 20 years ago. Through years as a patient, a counselor, and podcast host I've seen several key themes emerge with people newly diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder.This episode outlines the 10 keys to understanding Bipolar that I wish I had when I was first diagnosed.Clearly, I deliver these topics with a casual hyperbole, and this is not a medical show. However, the points I make are heartfelt, and things I've experienced firsthand. I hope you or your friends and family might benefit from knowing some of these things upfront.Newbie's Guide To Bipolar Disorder; 10 Keys to Understanding Your Impairment1:00 - [#1] Diagnosis5:45 - [#2] Abbreviations7:15 - [#3] Medication8:50 - [#4] Symptoms11:00 - [#5] Sleep13:00 - [#6] Diet & Exercise15:30 - [#7] Alternative Treatments18:20 - [#8] Coming Out22:00 - [#9] Work, Job, Productivity25:10 - [#10] Building Support Networks31:30 - Recap--- Send comments to comments@bipolarstyle.com or leave a public voicemail response (377) 944-9333
