S3. Episode 2: Red is for Alcohol & Addiction Awareness (Part 2) – Show Notes

Also found on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Stitcher.

In Part 2 of the two-part episode series, I present research-backed information on addiction disorders as well as how addiction can affect those diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I get really vulnerable and discusses my past relationship with addictions – how they negatively impacted my life and worsened my bipolar 2 disorder side effects. I truly hope that you’ll be able to learn from my mistakes and seek out any help you may need.
