This week on #SPSM Chat co-hosts Rudy Caseres (@RudyCaseres), Danielle Glick (@DanielleGlick), and Joelle Marie (@LazTheLazTheLaz) discuss “Bipolar & Suicide” with guest Heather Funk Palacios (@WondHerful).
Watch as we discuss issues such as:
Is bipolar a disorder, an identity, or both?
What are some factors that might lead to someone with bipolar dying by suicide?
How does suicidality manifest differently between depression and mania?
How can we as a society make the world more accommodating for people with bipolar?
