Dominique's Story of Triumph is about her journey suffering from bipolar disorder and mania. She vulnerably opens up about her experience with this disorder and how she has wouldn't have recognized the difference in herself if it weren't for family members who reached out to help.

"I told myself I was just tired and burnout. I did everything I could to explain away my behavior, except ask for help. I didn’t know I needed it... I’m grateful for my mother’s and my fiance's love, had it not been for their relentless pursuit to convince me I needed help, I never would have realized I did. This is why treatment should always be a team effort," Dominique says.
