In this interview, retired US Army General Gregg Martin courageously shares his personal battle with bipolar disorder. General Martin opens up in great detail about the profound impact that this mental health condition had on his career and personal life. He sheds light on the stigmas surrounding mental health and the lack of understanding, which prevented him from seeking help for an extended period of time. Living in mania for several years contributed to his career progression until it became detrimental and caused his crash. Gregg shares in detail the ways he peaked and then spiralled out of control, and the ways it took a toll on him and his loved ones. Join us as we explore General Martin's journey of resilience, self-discovery, and advocacy. Through his experiences, he hopes to inspire and educate others about mental health, fostering a more understanding and supportive environment for those struggling with bipolar disorder and other mental health conditions.
