The Bi-Polar Express - Ela Simon

Wednesday, 3 May 2017 - 5:00pm to 5:30pm

On today's episode of Brainwaves, we talk to Ela Simon, co-author of The Bipolar Express. Written with her daughter Natasha, the book describes the “rollercoaster of mania and depression” as experienced by mother and daughter. We talk about what it's like to care for a child with a mental illness, and also about her experience of writing a novel with her daughter and how the journey brought them together.

You can find out more about Ela and Natasha at their Facebook page and their website.

Wednesday 5:00pm to 5:30pm
Challenging the mainstream, negative stereotypes of people with a mental illness, Brainwaves actively engages those living with a mental illness as researchers, interviewers, performers and program designers while promoting community mental health awareness.
