Chris and new youngest Co-Host Phil talk about the fact that how family and friends react and help deal with a loved one's diagnosis dramatically affects how well or not so well that person does in life. Literally, the literature suggests the prognosis (how problematic the disorder will be) of a disorder can be much better if family and friends don't band together to take on a mood disorder head on. It turns out that we really are all in it together. Also, we preview our upcoming interview with Cinda and Linea Johnson, a dynamic mother-daughter team that are a living testament to the power of a unified and proactive family unit in combatting bipolar disorder.
