The Bi-Polar Buck Stops Here with Mequell Buck

In this episode, you'll hear:

  • The difference between a normal slump and a mental illness
  • How to live with and thrive while having bipolar disorder
  • How to be a support system for someone with bipolar

In this episode, Mathew, Dr. Dave, and Mequell discuss the advances in understanding and treating bipolar disorder over the past 20 years. They dive into the complexities of diagnosing bipolar, the challenges around distinguishing typical negative feelings from mental illness, and the gray areas in between. Mequell shares her personal journey with bipolar type 2, including the difficult process of navigating misdiagnosis, and how she eventually learned to help herself after feeling helpless for so long. She offers insights on how her medication gave her the strength to implement other positive changes in her life, like improving her sleep, diet, and exercise.

Mequell Buck is a mental illness warrior who was diagnosed with bipolar type 2 nearly 20 years ago. At the time, she had no one to turn to for guidance and felt uncertain about her future. In this episode, she opens up about the impact that medication had on her recovery and the trade-offs she faces to maintain balance. Mequell also provides practical advice for those dealing with bipolar disorder, as well as tips for how the people around her helped—or unintentionally made things harder—during her healing process.
