A Couple of Mental Health Badasses - Talking Bi-Polar, ADHD, More

Join the Conversation with Two Badasses in Mental Health Issues

In this episode, I sit down with Justine Rodes, host of the popular podcast Mentally A Bad Ass, for a no-holds-barred discussion about mental health topics.

Justine shares her journey with Bipolar II and how she’s learned to manage it, while also reflecting on her experiences growing up with a mother who faced her own mental health challenges. We dive into a range of important topics, including anger management, ADHD, recovery strategies, and other critical aspects of mental health.

As always, I tackle the issues head-on with my signature candor. From my soapbox, I explore why neurodivergent accommodations are often overlooked by mainstream media, and how grassroots movements on social media are stepping up to create real change.

Don't miss this compelling conversation! And be sure to check out Mentally A Bad Ass, a podcast with a similar mission and format to OTR: Achieving Mental Health for Real.

Profile picture for Robert Adleman

Robert Adleman

I am a 64-year-old male with ADHD, OCD, severe depression, severe  anxiety, and dyslexia. I struggled for 40 years working in the high-pressured Information technology field. Even though it was good money, I didn't have much luck in the financial department.
In 1991, at the age of 33, was when the severe anxiety attack occurred, and the support system was not there to handle it. So, I checked myself in to a mental hospital in Piscataway, NJ. That started my long road to recovery. After the attack, I was severely depressed and anxious for 6 months. This experience is detailed in episode four "Beating Severe Anxiety/Depression".
