"That's the moment when your feelings are multiplied tenfold, when you experience disappointments more than 'normal' people", describes Omar, a painter. 

In this first episode, Omar and Rania, both of whom are afflicted with bipolar disorder, describe the nature and onset of their psychological difficulties and, each in their own way, attempt to deconstruct the reality of bipolar disorders and the situation of the psychiatric system in Tunisia.

The disorder is characterised by alternating manic and depressive episodes. "The environment in which I live generally attributes changes in behaviour or mood to a bewitchment. They say that the person is cursed", laments Rania, a music teacher. 

They both denounce the systematic stigmatisation of people with bipolar disorder. The many stereotypes and the way society views their condition have had multiple negative consequences on their daily lives.

ABOUT

Inkyfada Podcast is the first platform entirely dedicated to original Tunisian podcasts, and was conceived by Inkyfada media in collaboration with the in-house research and development laboratory, InkyLab.
Inkyfada joined the global podcast boom in 2017, when the team produced the first Tunisian audio documentary, diving deep into the belly of the El Kamour struggle taking place in the desert.
Since then, Inkyfada Podcast has produced a wide variety of documentaries, investigations, and podcast series, as well as articles accompanied by music; covering a multitude of contemporary issues in order to offer an immersive and alternative podcast experience.
Whilst exclusively offering audio content, the Inkyfada Podcast team upholds the same core values and principles of inkyfada.com, and is committed to producing high quality content though a dynamic and meticulous production process.
In addition to the permanent team, Inkyfada podcast works closely with various journalists, artists, illustrators, musicians and other content creators in order to diversify the platform and support artistic creativity.
These podcasts differ from traditional radiophonic content in that the applied production and editing process is more akin to cinematographic techniques, in addition to being web-based, downloadable and accessible on demand.
Additionally, Inkyfada Podcast uniquely offers subtitles in French, Arabic and English for all audio content, the majority of which is recorded in Tunisian or in the preferred language of the speaker in question.
