In the final episode of this limited series, Liam Winters is the second of four children in his family, just a couple years older than his sister, Emma. Both Liam and Emma struggled with depression in their early years and both ultimately developed bipolar disorder. They talk with Dr. Ken Duckworth, NAMI’s Chief Medical Officer, about the ways in which bipolar presented and the ways their family rallied around them in support. Emma and Liam also discuss how they continue to support one another in managing their disorder.

This conversation was part of Dr. Duckworth’s research for the book, You Are Not Alone: The NAMI Guide to Navigating Mental Health--With Advice from Experts and Wisdom from Real People and Families. Hear more episodes of this and other podcasts and nami.org/podcast.
