Jenifer Lewis
In 2007, the Black-ish star revealed that she was bipolar on an episode of the Oprah Winfrey Show. “After years of therapy and after years of medication, I feel experienced enough now to come out and say bipolar disorder is treatable and you can get help and you don’t have to live such a tortured existence,” she said. Diagnosed in 1990, Jenifer says it took four years for her therapist to convince her to take medication. She finally reached her breaking point after purchasing a $2.3 million mansion on a whim. She has since written and performed a one-woman show about her disorder called “Bi-polar, Bath & Beyond.”
