Join us for our three-part miniseries, Living with Bipolar Disorder.
Like many other mental health conditions, bipolar disorder is still quite stigmatized in our society. Stigma can play a significant role in how people living with bipolar disorder receive treatment and care, their education and careers, and many other aspects of daily life. For this episode, we’ll be tackling topics like medications, relationships, the workplace, and supporting a loved one. We’ll be hearing from Dr. Sagar Parikh, a psychiatrist in the Michigan Medicine Bipolar Disorder Clinic and professor of psychiatry and of health policy and management in the School of Public Health at UofM, and Michelle Yang, writer, activist, marketing project manager, and research participant with the Heinz C. Prechter Bipolar Research Program.
