It was an eye-opening conversation with Oyoko Odhiambo from the Bipolar Heroes Foundation and a Human Rights Defender.

Bipolar is a disorder associated with episodes of mood swings ranging from depressive lows to manic highs, manic episodes may include symptoms such as high energy, reduced need for sleep and loss of touch with reality. Depressive episodes may include symptoms such as low energy, low motivation and loss of interest in daily activities.
