Hi! I am a Bipolar affected, diagnosed 15 years ago. The symptoms however first showed up when I was 14, that is a full 26 years before diagnosis. With the help of a fantastic Psychiatrist, therapist and to a great extent my own discipline, I have managed to tame the tiger.
I have had no major mood swing in the last 10 years except for mild depression. India has millions of people suffering from this serious mental illness. I consider it a privilege to be actively reaching out to my community to raise awareness and instill hope.
