I don't know how many of you out there know that this week Discovery Health has been showing nightly documentaries about different mental illnesses, including one about a child with bipolar disorder. I don't get the channel on cable, but you can watch the videos on Discovery Health's website. I have already watched some of the bipolar girl and it is VERY familiar. The shrill screaming and the slamming of doors (repeatedly) rings a bell with many of us, I'm afraid.
i didnt know you could watch the whole thing online - neat.
ReplyDeletei'm waiting until 9 to watch it tonight and i'm recording it.
i think many of us will be nodding our heads at it.
I DVR'd the bipolar kids show and have watched it twice. I cried the first time I watched it. I could feel the out of control emotions and the despair of the parents/grandparents. I could so relate to it.
