Becoming a successful, professional off-road race car driver is no easy accomplishment. This man is not only at the top of his sport, he’s also competing with bipolar disorder.

Justin Peck was 13 when he first started experiencing the symptoms of bipolar disorder. He was babysitting his younger brothers while his mother and stepfather were out on their date night. About halfway through the evening his mind started racing, his energy levels surged, and he started acting strangely.
