Northern Ireland mum opens up on living with Bipolar Disorder and how it helped her business

A Northern Ireland woman who lives with a diagnosis of Bipolar is breaking the stigmas which surround the disorder.

Emma Thompson, who is originally from Moneyreagh, says her Bipolar Disorder is her "super power" and she has developed a creative spark that she never knew she had. That creativeness has allowed the mum-of-one to launch her own business, and more recently, open up a shop.

Hailing her family and friends for the support they have given her through her journey with depression and anxiety, and her Bipolar Disorder diagnosis, Emma says she will always be grateful for them.
