Great conversation with Matteo Esposito of Invisible Challenge this week. He educates us on bipolar disorder, treatment centers and he helps me understand what happens when you go to the treatment centers. This is my preferred method of learning. I want to hear from someone who lives it, has gone through it, and has a 1st person account of what goes on. Matteo's links:Main Invisible Challenge websiteMatteo's Tedx talk"Just Promise Me You'll Read This Letter" by Matteo EspositoFollow @invisiblechallenge - InstagramMatteo's bio:Matteo Esposito is a Certified Addiction Recovery Coach and a Certified Recovery Peer Advocate, dedicated to supporting individuals who are facing invisible challenges.After overcoming his own battles with mental illness and addiction, Matteo now uses his lived experience to help others find strength and hope.
