The Lived Experience

The Lived Experience

Joel Kleber

The lived experience podcast is about sharing real people's stories of lived experiences on a large range of mental health topics.
As a child of a single mother with BiPolar, I wanted to create interviews that would fill the content gap around this subject and lesser-known issues that are covered in the current mental health awareness movement.
Mental health awareness and advocacy go far beyond depression and anxiety. I hope these discussions shine a lot on issues you may not be aware of or even inform you that you are not alone.

However, this has only recently been changed to BiPolar affective disorder type 2.  Simon chats about his journey so far and the battles he continues to face.
