I work in a Mental Health PHP/IOP and Inpatient setting as someone who does therapy groups. I’m currently working on my Masters Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I do have Bipolar 1 and have been hospitalized for mania before.

Actually I was a patient at my current place of work 9 years ago and the staff at that time are the ones who diagnosed me with Bipolar 1.
