Garrett Campbell is a pharmacist living on the east coast of Canada. After his diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder in 2014, he's always been interested in sharing his experience on his YouTube channel, Drug Talk, and has now decided to share in more detail in his book, The Fifth Episode. He believes talking about mental health helps take away the stigma as we normalize it through becoming more aware of people's experiences. When Garrett is away from work and YouTube, he enjoys spending time with his wife and daughter.
