Sleep and mental health are deeply intertwined — and for teens living with bipolar disorder, that relationship can be life-altering. In this episode of Teen Truths, producers Caden and Kennedi Harris examine how disrupted sleep patterns can trigger and worsen mood episodes, break down what bipolar disorder actually is, and explore what young people need to know about managing both.
The episode was produced in partnership with Free Your Feels, a Georgia-based mental health initiative dedicated to reducing stigma and expanding access to mental wellness resources for young people.
