Bipolar - Do You Know It?

Bipolar Disorder - Radio Script

Bipolar Live Read (SCRIPT) :60

Listen up. Here's a riddle:

Try to guess what "IT" is? Here we go:

“It" can make you feel so good. "It" can make you sharp, so sharp.

The life of the party. On a roll. It can give you ideas upon ideas, turn you on, make you feel unstoppable. It can get you to buy things — do things — you 'll regret.

And then it changes everything. It makes the brightest day dark. Sucks the color out of your life. Makes you feel too weak to get out of bed.

O.K. Do you know IT?

It's Bipolar Disorder.

Surprised? Yes, Bipolar Disorder.

It is real. And over 2 million American adults have been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. Unfortunately, many who live with it have been misdiagnosed for years, or don't even know anything is wrong.

Listen, it's worth finding out about. With help, you can get better.

Take a simple step.
