Kara David Discusses Bipolar Disorder and Power in Relationships

Veteran broadcast journalist Kara David appeared on GMA Network’s “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda” to speak openly about living with bipolar disorder. She described the condition as a “gift” or “superpower” when properly managed, noting its impact on her creativity and work ethic, and stressed the importance of community support and professional help.

In the same interview, David addressed public debate over age‑gap relationships, emphasizing that power imbalances, not age differences, are the real concern. She cited her own marriage to seafarer LM Cancio, which has a 12‑year age gap, as an example of a partnership built on mutual respect. David also referenced the recent controversy involving sports reporter Apple David and an 18‑year‑old basketball player, reiterating that adult consent and maturity matter more than chronological age.
