How would you feel if, as a parent, you were only allowed to see your kids for supervised visitation for 72 hours total out of an entire year?

That's exactly what happened to my guest, Bob Krulish, and as a result of his bipolar diagnosis. However, he had always been a father with undiagnosed bipolar. And, the court system failed him.

Today's story is about so much loss. In fact, Bob says that "Bipolar is the illness of loss." And, after hearing his story, you will be able to see that it most definitely is.

I received so much education about bipolar through Bob's story. If you know of someone who has bipolar, suspect they have bipolar, or if you yourself have bipolar, I highly recommend you listen to Bob's story.

There is one fact he shares about depression and anti-depressants as they relate to bipolar that you will want to hear. And, it's one change that can be made that could potentially eliminate so much suffering for those with bipolar.

Bob gives practical advice for those who have loved one's living with bipolar, as well as common signs to look for in someone you suspect may have it. Bob is a ripple-creator and bringer of hope for those living with and supporting those with bipolar.

Listen up, take notes, and reach out to Bob! He's an amazing human who's found his way out of the dark hole of bipolar after living with it undiagnosed for 35 years.
