Episode Description
In this episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by model and author Rosie Viva, who speaks openly about her experience of living with bipolar disorder, something she also explores in her book, Completely Normal and Totally Fine.
Rosie shares her journey to diagnosis in her early twenties, the challenges of being misunderstood, and the reality of finding the right treatment. Together, Louise and Rosie discuss why bipolar disorder is often missed in women, and how stigma and lack of awareness can leave many feeling unsupported.
They also explore the often overlooked role of hormones in mental health and why low and changing hormones can often worsen the symptoms of mood disorders.
It’s an honest and hopeful conversation about recovery, awareness and improving care for women.
