Description

How would you like to listen to a middle-aged man talk about finding peace and happiness living with Bipolar Disorder, high-functioning autism, and depression for more than 30 years? You do!? Then boy do I have the podcast for you! Don't wait! Just hit play! Jokes aside...hey, what's up? My name is Dennis Heil, and I am diagnosed with Type 2 Bipolar Disorder, and High-Functioning Autism with severe depression. I was 15 when I had my first serious suicide attempt, pulling the trigger on a bullet that misfired during a depressive psychotic episode. At 29, I had a second depressive psychotic episode that was so severe it forced me to decide between ending myself or seeking help. I decided to seek help and was diagnosed with Type 2 Bipolar Disorder. That was back in 2009, and I've been working on my recovery, peace, and happiness ever since. Bluntly Bipolar can best be described as a collection of content based on the hard lessons I've learned along the way. I am not a mental health professional. I have no training or certifications of any kind. All I am is a mental patient with a microphone, so take everything I say with a grain of salt. This podcast is not a replacement for help from qualified, trained professionals. Listener discretion is advised as I discuss my path and life bluntly, hence the title. Makes sense, right? Almost like a built-in trigger warning...
