‘I shut down Stansted Airport with my psychotic episode’ - destigmatising bipolar disorder with Rosie Viva

  • Summary

  • In 2018, model Rosie Viva was arrested after she caused Stansted Airport to evacuate all its waiting passengers following a psychotic episode. The aftermath saw her hospitalised, sectioned, and diagnosed with bipolar disorder - a dramatic moment that would alter the course of her life.


    Rosie joins Em to share her story and shed light on what it's really like to live with bipolar disorder, a complex and often misunderstood mental health condition. Whether you or someone you know lives with bipolar disorder or if you're simply curious to learn more - we hope you find this conversation helpful!
