Sam is the author of the book Winning the War with Bipolar and a psychological researcher. 5 years ago, Sam couldn’t read a page of a book let alone work or study. He was suicidal and thought his life was over. Fortunately, Sam had the right help that allowed him to develop and become well. He hopes by sharing his experience he can help others to do the same!

In this episode we talk a lot about the different states of mood within the Bipolar diagnoses and what they look and feel like and how finding medication that works for us can be difficult and often a longer road than we might hope it to be. Patience with medication changes and trials is key as sometimes it can feel worse before it had the positive effects. It’s a fine balance between giving new medications a chance to be effective and not allowing yourself to suffer with the wrong medication for too long and risking being very unstable and at risk to yourself and others.
