Opinion | Nancy Hightower: Mental health needs to be discussed by families. Keeping illness secret can be dangerous. - NBCNewsTHINK
It was only when a new therapist suggested I see a psychiatrist who specialized in bipolar disorders that I was correctly diagnosed as Bipolar II at 32. He listened to the story about my mother and how I couldn’t sleep and yet didn’t want to get out of bed.
Medication is not cure all, just as getting a cavity filled is not the end to tooth care. One must still visit the dentist, floss and brush. To manage my bipolar disorder, I must go to therapy, exercise and make sure to get enough sleep. Maybe another important way to help reduce the stigma surrounding mental health is to frame this narrative as integral to supporting our overall health, rather than adjacent to it.
