Bipolar Bandit

APRIL 30, 2024

I was diagnosed with postpartum bipolar I disorder in 2007 after my second daughter was born. I had treatment-resistant bipolar depression, and I tried over 20 meds to no avail. After my father died, I asked for ECT (electroconvulsive therapy) which saved my life. (I wouldn’t hesitate to get ECT again if I needed it.) Fast forward to 2013. I was stable but I was still depressed.
