This week on the couch, I use Jennifer Lewis’ story and discuss the mood disorder, Bipolar Disorder. I break down the different types of Bipolar Disorder. I describe the different types of treatment and the dangerous of not properly treating Bipolar. Lastly, I highlight other black celebrities battling Bipolar Disorder and chronicle how successfully they have managed their symptoms over time.
