that was driving you to it. >> right. it's a disease that you can't see. and, for me, i -- i honestly was shocked when i was diagnosed with it. i didn't see myself as being supertalkative. with this high energy. i didn't see the signs of it. >> did your husband see the signs? >> in looking back now, obviously he can put everything together. it makes sense. >> but when you were in it and spiraling? >> not at all. not at all. >> you're so candid about your brother, dan who died from suicide, also suffered from bipolar disorder. what is your hope for readers of the book? what is the message? >> i want people to understand mental illness. we can't see it like a broken arm. but everybody has issues in their life. mental illness can destroy lives. relationships. i think we need to speak out. there's help available. but more people have to reach

for that help. and i want to show also, that, we should not feel shame for our bizarre behaviors that stem from this illness. >> absolutely. in the book, you talk about your, the pressures of being one of the most celebrated runners in ncaa history. three times at the olympics. you're a real estate agent. you're a mom. madison, wisconsin. and yet you have this other life that all started with an anniversary trip. your 20th anniversary. you and your husband go the vegas and you made a decision that really changed everything. >> right. you know, i -- i hadn't been diagnosed at this time. and, when we made a decision to go to vegas, and the risky, the crazy things that we did, jumping out of an airplane, the sexual experience that we had in vegas, after that, my bipolar really started to develop, which i didn't know i had.

it brought on this hypers hypersexuality that was a six-month process to take me to being an escort in vegas. >> all the while, your husband knew about it. why do you think he let you do it? >> it's not that he let me do it. it was something i started to explore. and once i started exploring, i couldn't get out. i liked the high too much. he tried, desperately. he also protected me. he wanted to keep my reputation. and, an amazing -- an amazing man. i see him as a hero. he doesn't see himself as a hero. but i totally see him as a hero. >> and still with you today. >> absolutely. >> by your side. what gives you your high today? >> that's a great question. when you are bipolar, you miss those highs. i was first of all misdiagnosed. that brought on the

hypersexuality. i call mist more level. i don't know what level is because i've always been used to this high. it's hard. so my vices to keep me sane and happy are yoga. working out. i need an intense workout. running hard. racing people on the streets. when i'm in california. so something that really helps to bring out that high. i think it's crucial for somebody with bipolar. >> the book is fascinating. and var brave. >> thank you. >> just unflinching in how honest you are. >> it was difficult. because i share everything. i know this is a difficult book for my family and the people i have hurt with my behavior in vegas. and, that hurts me still. it's something i will have to live with for the rest of my life. >> but something to remember, christine brennan said, of all of your achievements on the

track, this might be the greatest one with all the people that can help. >> you know, with the "20/20" interview, when i heard that, i started crying. that gives me the strength to keep fighting and hopefully, my story will give people with mental illness the strength to reach out, to get help, and not be shamed of mental illness. our society needs to change. we need to help. >> yeah. suzy, thank you so much. the name of the book is "fast girl, a life spent running from madness." it's available now. >> i gotta tell you. it's not easy to share a story like that. she's done it so elegantly. no doubt it will help a lot of people. >> absolutely. september is pain awareness month. and with that in mind, we're launching a brand-new series to help you erase your pain. more than 100 million americans suffer from pain on a regular basis at a cost of $635 billion

ashton. okay, you're a patient. you go to see your doctor. cow tell them you're in pain. how do they determine what is going on with you? >> i'm going to take you inside the doctor brain and tell you how doctors think about pain. we think in terms of categories and anatomy. here, musculoskeletal. a sports injury, a condition like fie br-- fibromyalga. this could be kidney, livers heart. heart attack. visceral pain. and then neuropathic pain. pain caused by nerves. phantom limb pain. the pain following shingles. because the brain is part, it can be psychological pain or emotional pain. >> pain can be different for

everyone. we hear about chronic versus acute. >> a different category here. we're not sure what heads to chronic pain. one big theory that came out of the '80s is that everyone gets exposed to an injury or pain. the people that deal with it in a positive way, by no choice of their own, by the way. they approach it, confront it, recover. the people with chronic pain with the same painful stimulus, they develop this catastrophic worry. avoid fear. avoid confrontation. they get caught in a loop. >> is that why wei you? >> whether you're dealing top down or bottom up. we'll talk about treatments all week. it's hard to cover it all in a 2:00 segment. medical management of pain. we write a prescription for
