September is suicide prevention month.  I know firsthand how tough it is to have suicidal ideation, and I hope anyone who is experiencing this knows that they are not alone.  They can get help and get better. In this episode with Rohan Kallicharan, we discuss:  - What it’s like to have a serious mental illness like bipolar disorder. - How he has made several suicide attempts and how he survived. - How getting support for his mental health enabled him to become better. - How after being diagnosed and getting help, he had to relearn to do the basics like holding down a job. - What he learned from living with bipolar, and how it inspired him to become an advocate for mental health.  - How he used what he learned from his mental illness to successfully build his career from nothing to being a leader.
