Why is mental health often misunderstood?
Today\u2019s guest on Africa Daily is a young woman who seemed to have it all.
Noella got a job as a reporter with a local TV station in Nairobi \u2013 and then, around six years ago, she got a scholarship to study filmmaking in the US.
But then she had her first manic episode and woke up in a psychiatric ward in North Carolina.
She was told she had unspecified bipolar \u2013 but didn\u2019t understand what it meant and how it would change her life.
Now she\u2019s made a film for BBC Africa Eye called \u2018What is Eating My Mind\u2019 to try and help others in a similar situation.
She spoke to Mpho Lakaje about her experiences.
