Bleeding Through screamer Brandan Schieppati joins Scream Therapy host Jason Schreurs to recall what life was like when he was hiding his bipolar diagnosis from his bandmates. Brandan tried to pretend he was okay for years, but as his mental health deteriorated, everything came to head and he disclosed his condition to the band. They rallied behind him and Bleeding Through thrives to this day.
