Bipolar Disorder and What I Would Tell 

AJ Mendez is the New York Times Bestselling author of Crazy Is My Superpower. She is a mental health advocate and animal rights activist. As a former professional wrestler with the WWE she won three championships and inspired a generation of young girls to wear sensible shoes.



#MyYoungerSelf by Child Mind Institute is an anti-stigma campaign. We are grateful to AJ for her willingness to open up about her childhood experience with bipolar disorder.
