For this episode, I’ve invited the stand-up comedian and host of the widely followed Borderline Podcast Disorder, Levy Lupu.Levy is a truly unique voice in the mental health space, bringing his darkly honest comedic style to a topic many still shy away from. He is a London-based stand-up comedian whose work fearlessly mines his own life for comedy that is as insightful as it is funny. A few years ago, he was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), which provided a new lens to understand a life spent navigating complex mental health challenges. Levy has also been open about his long-term struggles with gambling and alcohol addiction, which began at the age of 13. Now approaching three years of sobriety, he uses his platform to tackle these heavy topics with brutal honesty and humor, believing that comedy is one of the most powerful tools for destigmatizing mental illness and recovery.
