In this episode, Andrew Ray and Barbara Lane talks with David Powlison and Winston Smith about bipolar disorder. The discussion was prompted by a listener’s question: “I have a client that has been diagnosed by a psychologist as bipolar, and she uses the ‘well, I’m bipolar, so I can’t help it’ excuse. She has been depressed and suicidal, she has also been hospitalized a few times. She is new to biblical counseling, and claims to be a believer. Any suggestion?”
