Quotes:
“For the last 20 years, my doctors, physicians, psychiatrists, pharmacists and care team suggest that I am in long term recovery, as much as that’s possible for someone with bipolar disorder and very healthy, and have been living my best life. And I believe others with brains like mine can do it too.” (01:05)
“I went from being a very popular kind of person with tremendous amount of friends to being the kind of guy you could either love or can’t take at all. I went from, you know, pretty much getting along with everybody to becoming a very polarizing figure, as is typical for people with a mental illness.” (06:19)
