Channel 4 | Modelling, Mania & Me

Rosie Viva, a pioneering 26-year-old fashion model and entrepreneur, knows all too well the challenges of life with bipolar. In 2018, her psychotic episode following a break-up with her boyfriend, caused an evacuation at Stansted Airport, and she was soon diagnosed with type 1 bipolar disorder. Now, Rosie has her heart and mind set on being a public advocate, using her talents and experience to model what life with bipolar can really be like.
