Bipolar Disorder

Description
This week Georgia and her father, Psychiatrist Dr Nicholas Cassimatis talk about Bipolar Disorder, a disorder approximately half a million Australians have. While the highs are 'fabulous' and one feels crystal clear clarity, the lows can be detrimental. Is it purely genetic? Why is this a disorder celebrities like to talk about?  We explore both poles of the disorder, the importance of self awareness and supportive family, and social systems.  Subscribing to the 'BBQ scenario', we aim to explain this as simply as possible.  If you would like Dr Cassimatis to answer a question on mental health for one of our future episodes contact: [email protected], or instagram: @georgiacassimatis.
