My guest, Dr. Iain Campbell, is a researcher at the University of Edinburgh and someone who has lived with bipolar disorder himself. He brings a rare dual perspective as both a scientist and a patient to this critical conversation.  Together, we discuss what’s really driving psychiatric conditions like bipolar disorder and why a systems-based approach may hold the key to meaningful recovery.
