Rick Flynn sits down with Liz Casper — former fourth-generation physician, artist, and author — to discuss her memoir BRILLIANT, BEAUTIFUL, BIPOLAR and her remarkable journey from a decades-long medical career to a bipolar disorder diagnosis at 54, an 18-month manic episode, and the healing path that followed.

Liz Casper joins host Gina Margaret Tiger on the Self Help Podcast to share her remarkable journey from fourth-generation physician to author and mental health advocate. Liz opens up about her bipolar disorder diagnosis at 54, navigating an 18-month manic episode, and the healing path that followed — including her move from the Pacific Northwest to the sunny Southeast and the writing of her memoirs BRILLIANT, BEAUTIFUL, BIPOLAR and LEARNING TO HEAL.

Liz began her academic journey in a business program at an Ivy League institution before building a successful career in New York City's beauty industry. After moving west, she completed her undergraduate degree at a liberal arts college, graduating with a degree in Art. College was also where she discovered her passion for medicine, and she went on to attend medical school on the West Coast, becoming a fourth-generation physician in her family and the only female to do so. In 2017, Liz retired from medicine and embarked on a new chapter, founding a skincare business in Los Angeles. During this time, she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and began her healing journey at UCLA. Since 2023, following the sale of her medical practice, Liz has been working full-time as a writer and artist.

Host of Own Your Essence, April DeMille, interviews former medical doctor, artist, and author Liz Casper, who retired from medicine in 2023. Casper discusses her books, BRILLIANT, BEAUTIFUL, BIPOLAR (about being diagnosed with bipolar disorder at 54 after decades of depression and seasonal affective symptoms), and LEARNING TO HEAL (covering her medical training and work, plus becoming a cancer patient). She describes how seasonal depression, major losses, and a breakup preceded an 18-month manic episode, the allure and dangers of mania, and how antidepressants can worsen bipolar symptoms. Casper recounts traumatic experiences in jail and psychiatric wards, criticizing mental health care and the lack of discharge support. She emphasizes identifying triggers — especially weather and family dynamics — moving from the Pacific Northwest to the sunny Southeast, and finding relief from seasonal patterns. The conversation also covers spiritual and psychic experiences, a near-death experience, family fears about relapse, and focusing life on love and advocacy.
