The Unspoken Struggles: Depression's Silent Symptoms
“But life, or I guess the public eye or the stigma that has been created it- makes a person with bipolar disorder such as you- and I feel like I'm constantly find myself holding back tears because of the exhaustion and the physical pain that literally I physically have.”
Ever felt like your depression is speaking a language only you can hear? In this episode of 'Mr. Joe’s Bipolar Podcast', Mr. Joe takes listeners on a raw journey through the often overlooked and unspoken symptoms of depression.
