Pennie Latin finds out about bipolar disorder - how it manifests itself and how scientists are working to understand how the condition affects the brain.

As part of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Scotland's Mental Health season, Pennie Latin investigates the truth behind bipolar, how it manifests itself for people who have it and how scientists are working to try and understand the brains of people with the condition.
