    Dec 8 2025
    ***IMPORTANT: Be sure to listen to the intro segment for this installment of the podcast. It provides important context for the interview. Hunter Keegan is joined for the 66th official installment of the Bipolar Recorder podcast by a new guest. Andrew "Smitty" Smith spent nearly three decades working as a sales representative for major pharmaceutical companies that develop and manufacture psych meds (including Risperidone). It wasn't until Smitty reached his late 30s that he received a diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder Type I (BD1) following an acute manic episode. In this interview, Smitty discusses his personal journey with bipolar disorder and explores with Hunter the unique intersection that his personal mental health played in the latter years of his career as a pharmaceutical sales representative. Smitty is not on social media and did not have any projects that he wanted to plug during this interview. SUPPORT THE BIPOLAR RECORDER "GOODBYE, 25' FUNDING DRIVE"!!!
