People are more than their bipolar disorder. And you and I both know they would never do that with illnesses such as cancer or childhood epilepsy.
Ever wondered how bipolar and co-occurring disorders can ripple through generations of a family? In this eye-opening episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods sits down with Jessica Carr to discuss her book 'Lies in Silence'. Carr's narrative paints a vivid picture of the toll these disorders have taken on three generations of her family.
The conversation dives deep into the hurdles of getting an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment, the heavy burden of stigma, and the role genetics play in these conditions. Carr passionately advocates for a transdisciplinary approach to treatment, where a team of professionals collaborates to provide comprehensive care. She also introduces the idea of conscious co-creation, encouraging individuals and communities to take active roles in their health and wellness.
Both Woods and Carr share personal stories and advocacy experiences, offering valuable insights and practical advice. They emphasize the importance of seeing people beyond their diagnoses and call for a cultural shift in mental health perspectives. This episode is essential listening for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of bipolar and co-occurring disorders and the importance of holistic, compassionate care.
