Hi Guys, welcome back!



I’m not feeling great right now, so we get straight into the news.  In honor of World Bipolar Day (March 30, 2019), my news story is all about the use of antidepressants in the treatment of bipolar disorder. https://journalbipolardisorders.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/s40345-018-0133-9 .  It’s controversial, sure, but very interesting.  



My interview today is with Sarah Zecchini of midnights.gallery. She’s putting together an artistic exhibit showcasing artists with mental illness.  If you’re in Oregon, please go!  https://www.midnights.gallery/help-me



You can also find Sarah at Instagram and Facebook at midnights.gallery.  Definitely check out the Instagram, it’s gorgeous.



As for me, I’m @thatbword1 on Twitter, @thatbwordpod on Facebook, and @thatbwordpod on Instagram!



oh, and CALL ME!  Leave me a voicemail at 330-353-9633.



Love you guys! Talk soon.

Sarah

Hi guys,



I wanted to post a short episode to share an article I found regarding one of the things I struggle with the most – intrusive thoughts.

Thanks for sticking with me through these short episodes.

In news, what else is there but the coronavirus?  I talk a little bit about how to cope with health anxiety.
