Candid conversations between a mother and her son; both navigating life with bipolar. Our unique perspectives- spanning generations, gender, and experiences- shed light on the challenges faced by someone who's learned to manage bipolar without much support, compared to another navigating similar waters with access to better tools and support. It's about our parallel journeys, the hurdles we've faced, and the different paths we're taking to live well despite the diagnosis.
Cherie and Anthony discuss the previous episode with Sarah, and the dynamics between Cherie and her family. Anthony reveals how he really feels about the divide.
