It has become commonplace for people to use mental health conditions as
dramatic labels for aspects of everyday life. Expressions like, "OMG, she's
so bipolar" and "I'm so OCD right now" have become a part of everyday
conversations. While most people are just trying to describe what they feel
at any given moment, this language may minimize the seriousness of these
conditions, create confusion, and leave people who truly struggle feeling unseen.
As mental health has taken center stage in recent years, it's time
to truly put some thought into the way we talk about our mental health.

So, on today's show, I've invited board-certified psychiatrist Dr. James
Fuqua to dive into the truth about Bipolar Disorder, its signs, and
treatment options available.
