The episode candidly explores the pressures of gender roles and societal expectations, emphasizing the importance of establishing healthy boundaries and communication. Our guest's experiences serve as a beacon, guiding listeners through the turbulent emotions and responsibilities that come with loving someone navigating the highs and lows of bipolar disorder.
Finally, we underscore the necessity of recognizing the symptoms and triggers of bipolar disorder, unraveling the complex tapestry of emotions and behaviors that can strain even the strongest of bonds.

Three questions I can answer:
1. How do relationships cope with bipolar disorder and addiction?
2. What are the challenges of loving someone with bipolar disorder and substance abuse issues?
3. Can addiction and mental health struggles affect intimacy and communication in a relationship?
