I wanted to give you a bit of context on the topic in this episode. So I'll start by telling you a little bit about bipolar disorder, once called manic depression. Bipolar disorder is a medical condition which affects the brain and in many cases causes extreme mood changes. Someone with this disorder can be very high and overexcited or very low and depressed often with periods of normal moods in between. Now up to 2 per cent of people or 460,000 adults in Australia experience, the symptoms of bipolar disorder and one of those symptoms is mania which can be experienced as euphoric by some but also highly distressing for others, leading at times to devastating consequences. So destructive mania can be difficult to contain once in full flight and much emphasis is therefore put in preventing it from occurring when signs or signals emerge.Connect with Faruk Avdi on LinkedIn Creators & Guests Gerry Scullion - Host Stef Murphy - Producer Like what we do?
