Bipolar & Mental Health with Keirstyn Secord

<p>The symptoms of Bipolar Disorder can often be overlooked because of their similarities to ADHD.  Studies show that thirty percent of people diagnosed with ADHD will have a depressive episode or have a mood disorder in their lifetime.  I have always been fascinated with this association because of my own anxiety and depression disorders and also having family members with Bipolar Disorder. </p> <p>Today I discuss mental health with Mental Health advocate, Keirstyn Secord @dancingwithdarkness on Instagram.  We discuss some BIG TOPICS and suggestions that those of us with ADHD can directly relate to:</p> <p>-The empowerment and grieving process of a diagnosis.</p> <p>-How to differentiate between who you are and your diagnosis.</p> <p>-How to embrace the awkward with mental health.</p> <p>-How to know if your therapist is a right fit for you.</p> <p>-Going beyond the grocery store response.</p> <p>-Self compassion and empathy.</p>
