Stranger Things actor David Harbor reveals to be bipolar

Stranger Things actor David Harbor reveals that he has been living with bipolar disorder for years. He was diagnosed when he was in his twenties, he tells frankly in the Blank Podcast on Friday.

“Working has become a kind of lifebuoy”

“The interesting thing about my form of the disorder is that I am never bothered when I am working,” says the actor. “That way working has become a kind of lifebuoy.” David also admits that he finds medication completely fine, but attaches great importance to therapy.

The revelations come shortly after the actor called Duffer brothers – the makers of the Stranger Things series – in the middle of an interview, and demanded answers about the death of his character Jim Hopper. That happened on Late Night with Seth Myers, in which David suddenly started to worry about his further role in the hit series. When the Duffers told him they were still working on the script, David got angry and wished them luck with season four.
