The Julie and David Talk Bipolar Disorder Podcast: Talking with Kids about Bipolar by Julie A. Fast published on 2016-12-21T21:21:58Z Julie and David Talk Bipolar Disorder Podcast Julie A. Fast talks with her 14 year old nephew David about bipolar disorder. She started the conversations when he was four. A note from Julie: It amazes me how easily David and I can talk about such a serious illness. I started off by educating him on my own depression, mania, anxiety and psychosis symptoms so that he could better understand my behavior. Now he is one of the greatest minds I know on the topic! He has so much insight. We can teach young people how to talk about and manage this illness. David doesn’t currently have bipolar disorder, but we have talked about the genetics of having it in the family. I hope you enjoy our discussion on how to talk about bipolar disorder in an open and relaxed way. Genre Learning
