Fashion model Sarah De Garnham said getting a bipolar disorder diagnosis reassured her that she "wasn't going insane"Thousands of people in Wales have waited nearly 12 years for a bipolar disorder diagnosis, according to the Bipolar Commission in Wales.
"I knew I'd react differently to things compared to my friends, and they acted differently to me," the 35-year-old said.Ms De Garnham was told by a doctor that pregnancy triggered her bipolar. "This career has saved me. Mental health is a big thing for me on social media and I will always try and speak about it as openly as I can because I don't want people thinking I've got the perfect life. I want them to know it's not all butterflies and rainbows."Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition where individuals exhibit extreme moods, which can last for several weeks.
