YERRRR!

Welcome back to the 4th season Of Oye Mi Gente! Podcast

Thank you so much for sticking with us through another season.

This week's episode is super personal to me. 

Join me as I have this heart to heart talk with myself while at the sametime try to debunk a whole bunch of myths and misconceptions about people living with Bipolar Disorder. 

Bipolar disorder is a neurobiological brain disorder that affects approximately 2.3 million Americans today, or almost 1 percent of the population. Although bipolar disorder usually begins in adolescence or early adulthood, it can sometimes start in early childhood or as late as age 40 or 50. Bipolar II is similar to Bipolar I disorder, with moods cycling between high and low over time. However, in bipolar II disorder, the "up" moods never reach full-blown mania. The less-intense elevated moods in bipolar II disorder are called hypomanic episodes, or hypomania. It is not as extreme as a manic period. A person affected by bipolar II disorder has had at least one hypomanic episode in his or her life. Most people with bipolar II disorder suffer more often from episodes of depression. This is where the term "manic depression" comes from.
