S4. Episode 2: Bipolar Disorder & Sensory Overload – Show Notes

2. Bipolar Disorder & Sensory Overload – Distressed to Joyful; Bailey's Way

Also found on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, and YouTube.

In this episode, I discuss the connection between bipolar disorder and sensory overload (also known as hypersensitivity). I take time to discuss research that I’ve done on this topic and how it relates to personal life experiences that I’ve undergone. Sensory overload affects many different types of people with mental diagnoses, more than just those with bipolar disorder. I sincerely hope that you’ll leave this episode with a better understanding and more empathy for those in the world around you.
