It&apos;s 2000, summer in New York City, exactly five years after Dartmouth. For Janine, depression and psychosis in college was a one-time deal. For three years, she&apos;s been chasing her dream of being an actor, and with a big performance coming up, she&apos;s as close to success as she&apos;s ever been. Thrilled with life and buzzing through the city, Janine&apos;s world shifts...but can you blame her?

Navigating Bipolar Disorder and Pursuing Acting

Naked in LA

I kept my mental illness secret, then one day I pressed record. On Bipolar She we explore questions like: What does a mental health crisis feel like? How do you survive it? What could improve your health? My guests have lived life experience and tell difficult mental health stories in raw detail. What inspired this podcast? I heard an interview on the radio with a comedian who spoke vividly about her bipolar illness and her symptoms. Her symptoms matched up with mine. Everything changed. I was able to open up to my therapist and get better care. So, join me in welcoming storytellers (real people &amp; experts) from various backgrounds to boldly share a part of their lives with the goal of better mental health for all. Please check out BipolarShe.com and let me know if you have a story. The content of this podcast does not include medical or professional advice. Do not disregard or delay seeking medical advice in response to this podcast. We are real people talking mental health. Welcome to Bipolar She.
