Jarred Madison Frey: From Bipolar Diagnosis to Mental Health Advocate
It's presenting itself, and people need to know that it's okay not to be okay, and it's okay to show when you're not okay, because sometimes that helps someone else off the ledge.
Imagine being diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder Type 1 at just 18 years old. That's exactly what happened to Jarred Madison Frey, the host of 'The Bipolar Bachelor Podcast'. In this episode of 'Removing Addiction and Healing Mental Health', hosts Mike Carroll and Jess Gaddes chat with Jarred about his rollercoaster journey through mental health. From the highs of his mountaintop moments to the lows of his time in psych wards, Jarred doesn't hold back.
He’s on a mission to break down the stigmas and false pretenses surrounding mental health. His podcast serves as a beacon for others, sharing not just his triumphs but also his struggles. Jarred also recommends a book that has been a cornerstone in his mental health journey, 'I Hate You, Don't Leave Me' by Jerald J. Kreisman, MD, and Hal Straus. If you're looking for an episode that’s raw, real, and full of heart, this one’s for you.
Whether you're dealing with your own mental health issues or supporting someone who is, Jarred’s story offers a blend of inspiration and practical advice that’s hard to find elsewhere.
