VIDEO: “At TED’s Full Spectrum Auditions, comedian Joshua Walters, who’s bipolar, walks the line between mental illness and mental “skillness.” In this funny, thought-provoking talk, he asks: What’s the right balance between medicating craziness away and riding the manic edge of creativity and drive?”

Joshua Walters is also a mental health educator.


VIDEO: Joshua talks about mental state cycles of bipolar disorder and what happens when people decide to stop their medication because they want to be “normal”.
