On average it takes 9 years to be successfully diagnosed with Bi-polar and 3 million people in the UK live with it. Yet, it is something that is barely spoken about.
Jamie Forsyth is here to change that. In this episode, Jamie shares his extraordinary story of living with bi-polar and the way it can completely takeover your life without warning. We talk about the transition from working as a Prison Officer to being a prisoner, the difficulty getting a diagnosis, and the amazing work Jamie is doing now to raise awareness about bi-polar and reduce the stigma surrounding mental health disorders.
A fascinating and educational listen that we can all learn from.
