This week on The Search For Serotonin podcast, I sat down with mental health advocate Mik B! Mik has been diagnosed with ADHD, Bipolar Disorder (Bipolar 1), and Anxiety (Generalized and Social). Mik vulnerably shares the process of getting an ADHD diagnosis, how to manage living with bipolar disorder, and the therapy journey. We also discuss the grieving process associated with getting diagnosed, and how you can create a fulfilling life. And Mik gives us a behind the scenes look at Matcha Health Therapy Services. This is an episode you don’t want to miss! Listen to our full conversation now.
