Have you ever felt like you were a passenger in a car where someone else was slamming on the gas and then the brakes, but you were the one getting the speeding tickets? In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on one of the most complex and misunderstood conditions in psychology: Bipolar Disorder.

We’re moving past the casual "mood swing" labels to explore what it’s actually like to live between two extremes—from the "superhuman" rush of mania to the heavy, suffocating weight of deep depression. We’ll dive into the history of the diagnosis, the fascinating (and controversial) link between the disorder and creativity, and the vital role that routine and support systems play in management. Whether you’re here to learn for yourself or to better understand someone in your life, this episode is all about finding grace in the highs and the lows.
