A Brooklyn couple who hosted a self-help radio show committed suicide by suffocating themselves with helium and plastic bags — leaving behind tragic suicide notes detailing a battle with bipolar disorder, police sources and witnesses said.

Psychotherapist Lynne Rosen, 46, and her motivational-speaker husband John Littig, 48 — who appeared on WBAI-FM’s “The Pursuit of Happiness”— rigged tubes to a helium tank then tied plastic bags around their heads at their Park Slope home, the sources said.

The building manager found their bodies after complaints were received of a foul smell.
