Jeff Brown was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in college at 21. The diagnosis made so much sense that he chose to live “out” as bipolar. Jeff had the full range of madness and brilliance and he has seen life at the peaks and depths of this condition. He also graduated college, have had a successful career in tech and became a patented inventor. Now Jeff is building this advocacy to help people who haven’t made it.
