In this episode we continue talking about the topic from the previous episode(make sure you listen to both) - which is life with bipolar disorder. Previously we talked to Shola about her journey and living with this mental illness. In this episode Shola is describing a support system and medication she is receiving which are both helping her to manage and keep the symptoms under control. She is specifically opening to us about her acceptance of 'being bipolar' and that there should be no shame whatsoever in doing so. We are also talking about the reactions and approach from her environment when she shares what she is going through and about the necessity to educate children about mental health from a young age. Listen to the end of her story where she sums up an advice for us all about how to cope with depression during the pandemic.
