Season 2 Episode 2 More Than a Mood Swing: The Truth About Bipolar, Mania & Psychosis

Описание: Bipolar disorder is more than mood swings.

In this episode, Jamie Kodra breaks down the biggest myths about bipolar disorder, mania, psychosis, and medication — and replaces stigma with truth.

What is bipolar disorder really?

What does mania actually feel like?

Is psychosis the same as violence?

Do all people with bipolar experience the same symptoms?

Does taking medication mean weakness?

As someone diagnosed with bipolar disorder at 32 after years of misdiagnosis, Jamie shares both clinical insight and lived experience to explain:

• The biological and neurological basis of bipolar disorder

• The difference between Bipolar I and Bipolar II

• What manic episodes and hypomania really look like

• How sleep disruption affects mood stability

• What psychosis actually is — and why it’s often misunderstood

• The reality of medication management and treatment challenges

This episode addresses common misconceptions about bipolar disorder and mental illness while advocating for compassion, accurate information, and support.

Whether you live with bipolar disorder, love someone who does, or want to better understand mental health conditions, this conversation offers clarity and hope.

Bipolar is not a personality flaw.

Mania is not just extreme happiness.

Psychosis is not a horror movie.

And treatment is not weakness.

There is hope — even in the chaos.
