Tanya Brown had it all: an impressive military career as an officer in the US Army, a husband, two healthy children, the quintessential American dream.
But when mounting military pressures and stress triggered Bipolar 1, with psychotic features, her life was upended.
Within a short time, she lost her career and after years of struggle and a series of manic episodes, she damaged relationships with her family and was devastated financially.
Drowning in the ups and down of her disease, and following multiple hospitalizations, Tanya reached a breaking point.
That’s when she called NSPIRE…and everything changed.
