A mum shared how bipolar made her think she'd caused the pandemic - and says she's grateful pop star Selena Gomez has spoken out about having the illness.
Natasha Rea, 33, has struggled since a young teen with bipolar and she was misdiagnosed with a 'mood disorder' aged 14. She took her first overdose in January 2005 and wasn't formally diagnosed with the condition until Autumn 2013. She has battled intense emotions, deep depressions, anxiety and unpredictable manic episodes since.
She said she's 'thankful' that singer and actress Selena Gomez recently revealed her experience living with the condition in a documentary called My Mind and Me - starting a 'mainstream discussion' over how the condition "isn't simply high and low moods".
