S1 E15- Depressive Episodes

Welcome to BipolarLines with Brooke &amp; Laura! Our goal for this podcast is to provide support and guidance to others who love someone with bipolar disorder. Our husbands were both diagnosed with bipolar disorder 1; we talk about the good, the bad, the ugly, the lessons learned, and share all of our successes. Stick around, sometimes the best things happen when you least expect it.
