Steve Serpas: Discovering the Journey, Heartbreak and Gift of Bipolar Disorder and Emotional Sobriety
Manage episode 409436432 series 3560474
May is Mental Health Awareness month and the Fear Addict has got you covered. In this deep dive of an episode, Josh and Mark talk to Steve Serpas, who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at 18. Steve shares his earliest memories of growing up in Louisiana with the illness, including weight gain and full-blown mania as well as growing up around alcoholsim and untreated alanon behavior. He found safety and self-expression in his early creative work and writing, ultimately finding 12 step rooms at age 27, which saved his life. From there, his path to healing involved a multi-city journey that included nine psychiatrists, a few therapists, regular exercise, healthy eating and meditation. Even though we talk about the "fear" of dealing with one's mental health in his story, we laugh in all the right places as the guys share their perspective on mental health and emotional recovery through Steve's experience that we all somehow seem to share. He's so smart, he name-dropped a few resources that we've listed below for more information on the talk. Remember, consult your own health professional about what's righ for you.
Resources:
I Don't Want to Talk About it: Overcoming the Secret Legacy of Male Depression. Best-selling book by Terrence Real, family therapist and founder of the Relational Empowerment Institute.
