In Episode #45 of *ADHD for Smart Ass Women*, Tracy introduces you to 27-year-old MMA fighter Emma Elizabeth Megan ("Em"), who was misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder at the age of 18.

Em began struggling after facing a lot of stress during her first year of college. Initially diagnosed with depression, she was prescribed citalopram, which caused her to feel “buzzy” or hyper. This reaction ultimately led to her misdiagnosis of bipolar disorder.

Em accepted the diagnosis, being young and unaware of alternatives. The bipolar medication, however, made her suicidal, and she spent time in psychiatric units. During this period, Em also pursued a Master's in Psychology to better understand bipolar disorder.
