Unraveling Bipolar and Co-Occurring Disorders with S J Hart

I believe that stigma is a character flaw, and we all have it. I believe we have to increase the competence of evaluating the difference between depression and bipolar depression.
How does mental illness ripple through generations? In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', Mary Woods invites S J Hart to share her family's poignant story, as told in her book 'Lies in Silence'. Hart's narrative is a raw, heartfelt exploration of bipolar and co-occurring disorders, revealing the deep scars left on three generations of her family. The discussion dives into the importance of accurate diagnosis and the struggle to differentiate between depression and bipolar depression.
With a blend of empathy and realism, Hart stresses the urgent need to challenge the stigma that often surrounds mental illness. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of living with these conditions and the critical role of support and proper treatment.
