ADHD, Bipolar, and the 24-Hour Rule: Lessons From a Mental Hospital with Laura Greenberg SchilerShe went in scared and left with 10 life lessons—and a book. We unpack ADHD, bipolar, and the 24-hour rule.In this episode, I sit down with Laura Greenberg Schiller, a former attorney, mom of three, and now author of Finding Flawless. Laura was diagnosed with bipolar at 39 and later with inattentive ADHD. Her time in a mental hospital didn’t break her—it gave her clarity, steadiness, and a simple rule that changed her relationships.You’ll hear how Laura went from high-achieving lawyer to retired by choice, why inattentive ADHD shaped far more of her daily life than she realized, and the one boundary she uses to keep mood swings from running the show. We also talk about writing a deeply personal book without losing yourself in the process, and what people get wrong about psychiatric hospitals.If you or someone you love is juggling ADHD, bipolar, or both, this conversation offers relief, perspective, and a few practical anchors you can start using today.About the GuestLaura Greenberg Schiller is a New Jersey-based former attorney turned author.
