Michigan Medicine Presents: Living with Bipolar Disorder Podcast Series

The Living with Bipolar Disorder podcast is a 3-part series that features research, clinical, and lived experience experts from the Heinz C. Prechter Bipolar Research Program.

Bipolar disorder affects nearly 11 million Americans at some point in their lives, and despite affecting millions of people, it is still often misunderstood and stigmatized. Bipolar disorder can impact all facets of a person’s life– relationships, jobs, and healthcare. But it can also influence and shape wellness, and how we define it. Listen to research, clinical, and lived experience experts from the Prechter Program as they explore what it’s like to live with bipolar disorder.

Three topics are covered:

  • Episode 1: The Science of Bipolar Disorder
  • Episode 2: Exploring the Meaning of Wellness
  • Episode 3: Medication, Relationships, and Caretaking
