Making Mental Health & Addiction Visible with Matteo Esposito from the Invisible Challenge

Ellipse 6

Dr. Mark Bonta

Host

Matteo Esposito joins Mark for a candid look at the reality of living with bipolar disorder and addiction. He shares how years of manic episodes, depression, and substance use collided with a healthcare system that often overlooks invisible illnesses, leading him to co-found Invisible Challenge to spark more honest conversations.

Through his lived experience, Matteo explains why recovery requires connection, honesty, and the courage to address both mental health and addiction together. His story offers hope, clarity, and a reminder that change is possible one day at a time.
