In this week’s episode:

I talk a little bit about my decision to look for another job.

In news and reviews, I examine an article from the Washington Post about algorithms designed to – without our knowledge – assess our mental health.  Please, let me know what you think about this issue at [email protected]

In this week’s episode –

I’m super sick.  As a consequence, you don’t have the pleasure of my dulcet tones in your head.  Apart from a brief mention of New York and Virginia making mental health education mandatory, it’s straight on to the interview.

The interview this week is with Dennie Maverick, who is writing the memoir “Crazy and Proud of It”.  You can find her on twitter at @author_bipolar

In this week’s episode:

It’s so nice out, I’ve decided to try my hand at podcasting from the park.  It gives me the chance to talk about the new med I’ve switched Seroquel for – Vraylar.

In the news this week, there is a promising (grain of salt) article about a breakthrough in Bipolar Disorder research. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/bipolar-disorder-breakthrough-300643258.html

Now, guess what makes you look younger while treating BPD!  Time’s Up.  It’s Botox!  https://www.psychcongress.com/article/botox-reduces-treatment-resistant-symptoms-bpd

No interview this week!

 

Thanks guys,  talk to you next week!

In this week’s episode:

I found an article that I thought was really helpful on BPhope.com. It’s called The Enemy Within: Tools to Stop Self-Sabotage. I take a look at the causes of self-sabotage and what we can do to combat it.

My interview this week – well, more of a conversation, really – is with Jim of BipolarPod and Cameron of the UK.

I’ve also started a little Twitter project I’m calling the Make Good Choices Project. I’m challenging every listener to tweet on good choice they made each day using the hashtag #MakeGoodChoicesBP. I think by focusing on the little things at first, we can grow into making better choices on a larger scale. I hope I see you on Twitter!

Until Next Week!
