Dr. Hanson and Forrest continue their ongoing series on \u201cWho Am I\u201d by focusing on a subset of the depressed mood states which we covered in our last episode in this series: bipolar disorder, formerly known as \u201cmanic depressive.\u201d\nDepression and depressed mood are major problems for many people, and the material we\u2019re going to get into today will be sensitive in nature. If things start to feel uncomfortable, feel free to skip around or turn it off altogether. As with all of the episodes in this series, please remember that bipolar disorder is best diagnosed by a trained mental health professional.\nSupport the Podcast: We're on Patreon!
