Holly-Bipolar Disorder and Ehlers- Danlos Syndromes (EDS)

Welcome back to Episode 4 of Behind the BDS. Today I'm joined with Holly, a 3rd year medical student at the University of Birmingham, who is maybe better known as @miscellaneousmedic on her fab instagram page. There Holly covers so many relevant topics including mental health, body image and mindfulness/other wellbeing techniques. She is very open about her diagnoses of bipolar disorder, hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndromes (hEDS) and ADHD, so we explore a bit of all of these in todays ep, but also Hollys experiences with symptoms, seeking support and managing social media. We also highlight how Mental Health awareness doesnt just include Anxiety disorders and Depression, but also those less understood conditions including BPD, Schizophrenia, Body Dysmorphic Disorder and so on.
