In this episode I discuss my diagnosis of bipolar disorder, the different types of bipolar disorder and how the general population views it. I talk about the differences between psychiatrists and psychologists and honestly just spit a lot of facts about what bipolar disorder is. I talk about Kanye and how just because you have a mental illness that does not give you an excuse to act like a shitty person.
