Prof. Ian Hickie - Bipolar Disorder (Part Two)


Listen Later

This week on Wellbeing we are talking with Prof. Ian Hickie from the University of Sydney about bipolar disorder. This is the second instalment in our series. Professor Ian Hickie is the Co-Director of Health and Policy at The University of Sydney’s Brain and Mind Centre. He is an internationally renowned researcher in clinical psychiatry, with a particular interest in mood disorders such as bipolar. In this episode we get an overview of bipolar disorder, but also a deep look into how the body's internal clock (sleep-wake cycle) connects with bipolar.

"Our sleep-wake cycle is built-in, and therefore its been very important to our survival and circadian systems - or on-off 24-hour cycles. To exist on the earth we exist on, you have to have your clock going into synchronicity with the normal rotation of the earth; and across all species, plants and animals have these systems to some degree." - Prof. Ian Hickie on this episode of Wellbeing

Tune in next week when we talk with bipolar expert Dr. Noreen Reilly-Harrington.
