Today my guest for the podcast is one of my friends since childhood, Diane Sykes Bartholomew. Diane agreed to come on the show and share her personal story of dealing with mental illness, depression and bi-polar 2. She shares about her dealing with suicide ideation, and a 72 hour involuntary hold in a mental health facility. I some of you will relate to what she went through, and for others it may give insight to what people feel when placed on a 72 hour hold. My hope is that this will give us ideas to better serve those who are seeking treatment. Thank you Diane for sharing your vulnerable truths.
