Talking Bipolar disorder with Stephen Nawotniak

In this Episode of Love your Diagnosis, I talk with Steve about his diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder. After being hospitalised from a major depressive episode and potentially being diagnosed with depression, someone in the hospital realised that it was bipolar that Steve was living with, not depression. That was a life changing experience for him, as he mentions in the interview that being on anti depressants when you have bipolar can lead to a form of mania. He fells lucky to have been diagnosed correctly and has turned that diagnosis into an empowering situation to assist others. He has incredible insight into this diagnosis and shares what he did to be empowered by it not become a victim.

Planting seeds of information about things that perhaps you never knew could and might assist in treating and managing the symptoms associated with your diagnosis. Alternative treatments are out there to be used, alongside allopathic medicine, or instead of. That part is completely up to you, but gaining knowledge is the first part in empowering yourself back to health.
