Melissa Rivera is a multi-talented individual who wears many hats as an author, videographer, photographer, and mental health advocate. Melissa specifically reached out to Dr. Adrian Mesa to come on the Finding Balance Podcast and, for the first time, publicly discuss her experience of living with bipolar disorder, being hospitalized in a psychiatric unit, access to mental healthcare and so much more. Melissa was raw, real, and vulnerable. Thank you for coming on and sharing your story.
