We’ve heard before about receiving a diagnosis later in life, but imagine the confronting experience of being admitted to a psych ward as an adult and being told you have bipolar disorder.

Laura Schiller is a self-proclaimed hot-mess wife, mom of 3 and retired lawyer. 

Five years ago she was a content wife, mom, lawyer, and successful entrepreneur and then she found herself unexpectedly in a mental hospital. 

She is thankful for the experience and learned so many great lessons in the mental hospital. Now she signed on with a publisher for her book about her mental health journey.

In this episode she shares:

-      Her life before hospital

-      Her experience of going to hospital

-      How the psych ward differed to the mental hospital

-      What she wishes she knew back then

-      If she sees signs in your past that you had bipolar disorder

-      What happened when they told her she had bipolar

-      Her book and what she hopes to do

-      What it was like leaving the hospital
