Скачать или смотреть Funny Philosophy - Bipolar disorder and Working in the tech industry

A reflective video where I explore the question of bipolar and mood disorders whilst working in the often pressure heavy tech industry and the prevalence of burnout, as well as some tips from experience on how to avoid it, and some jokes (sorta). I've made this as an insight for anyone interested. I think I've been quite lucky in the sense I have been able to manage some sort of career with this illness, but not going to lie , it's occasionally a struggle.
