In this very powerful interview with Louise Barnett, host of the Unmasking Sobriety and Mental Health podcast, we explore what it’s like living with Bipolar 1 disorder pre and post diagnosis. Louise speaks candidly about her first 15 years of life feeling like Jekyll and Hyde, unplanned motherhood, alcohol addiction, and her upcoming memoir Tainted Love: A Bipolar Memoir. Throughout this episode, Louise shares her own strategies for living well despite having a mental illness and the importance of self awareness and acceptance.
