In this episode of the Psykhe podcast Hannah is joined by Sheree Martines to discuss Bipolar Disorder. Sheree shares her experiences of living with rapid cycling Bipolar 1. Sheree shares her experience of being misdiagnosed for years, self harm, suicidal ideation and hospitalisation. We discuss the differences between bipolar 1 and 2 and what it means to be rapid cycling. Sheree shares her long journey to receiving the correct diagnosis and the impact of receiving it and then the long wait to find the right medication combination for her. We also discuss taking personal responsibility for your mental health, the way we treat mental health vs physical health and the therapeutic process of writing.
