Episode 244: "Accidental" Overdose & Becoming a Psychologist with Bipolar

Hello, friends! I hope you're having a really good week. This is a Q&A episode with two really important questions. The first one talks about a suicide attempt in a non-graphic way. I wanted to let you know that off the bat so you can be aware going into it. Nothing intense or visually striking, but potentially triggering nonetheless.  Questions for this episode: I had a suicide attempt that everyone thinks was an accidental overdose. Do I need to tell my family the truth? I have severe bipolar 1 and I have always wanted to become a psychologist and do therapy. Is this possible? As always you can send me your questions to duffthepsych@gmail.com and if you'd like to see the full show notes head over to duffthepsych.com/episode244 Advertiser: Bulldog Yoga Online takes the intimidation out of yoga and replaces it with fun and great music playlists.
