Introduction

Stephen Fry needs no introduction. His extraordinary life has been spent pushing boundaries - as an actor, writer, comedian, and mental health awareness advocate. On today's Braincare Podcast, Stephen shares his experience with bipolar disorder, how he came to terms with his diagnosis, and why he felt compelled to share his story in the Emmy award-winning documentary Stephen Fry: The Secret Life of the Manic Depressive.

We talk about:

• Living with bipolar disorder diagnosis
• Coping mechanisms and self-care
• How physical health can affect mental health
• Ways to help loved ones suffering with their mental health
