Medicine ReMixed

Bipolar Disorder is seen in about 1% of the population and mostly affects young people between 20-30. During his very first year of medical school, our very own Big H learned that he was part of the 1% that was "Touched by Fire." This episode is a raw introduction to a largely misunderstood mental illness. Between the experiences of those who treat it for a living and those who live it for a living, mind the gap in this episode and enjoy your first ride on "The Bipolar Express!"

This episode contains cuts from "Ask Gary Vee" featuring Gary Vaynerchuk, Tim Ferriss & edits from the talented comedian Maria Bamford.
