Over the last two episodes, Major General Gregg Martin regaled us with stories about his forever war with bipolar disorder, including early warning signs and his recovery journey. We also listened to his insightful exchange with Dr. Alex Leow, which provided insight into how textbook concepts in bipolar disorder can play out in the day-to-day life of a patient. In the final part of our series, we return to the conversation between Dr. Leow and General Martin to hear one last incredible story, and examine how the greater research community can translate the information gained through personal stories into better interventions, medical practice and public policy. DISCLAIMER: This episode includes discussions of mental illness, delusions and psychotic episodes. Please listen with care.
