A Story of Anorexia & Bipolar Disorder: Cara Lisette

October 30, 2021 • Naomi Charalambakis Wilkerson • Season 1 • Episode 14

Naomi chats with Cara Lisette, mental health campaigner in the UK about her recovery story for both anorexia and bipolar disorder. While more research is needed, studies suggest that the comorbidity of these two diseases ranges from 0.6 to 33.3 percent. Naomi and Cara talk about the awful comparison game that the eating disorder tries to play with our minds, how COVID-19 complicated recovery for so many, and why therapy is so important.

As part of her recovery, Cara wrote "The Eating Disorder Recovery Journal," an interactive workbook to facilitate physicians, therapists, caregivers, and especially those navigating recovery. Coming April 2022!
