It is not often that a psychologist shares the complexities of their own mental health with the public. However, mental health professionals have a responsibility to be self-aware about mental illness and seek treatment for themselves through therapy and self-care. Dr. Lisa Whitten (psychologist and Black hair researcher) discusses her life as a psychologist with a mood disorder, specifically bipolar disorder. This episode highlights how hair can be used as both a trigger for mood disorders and form of treatment.
