I have a problem with the show Intervention. The people sign up to do a documentary on their problems, not to be ganged up on (and that's what an intervention feels like to most people), and while I have a problem with interventions, I think that when they're done, they should be private, not put on TV for entertainment. There are those who watch Intervention who care, but let's face it--many watch it because they want to see "freaks." I've heard people talk about those on the show and describe them in that kind of way.

I remember one episode where a woman was becoming seriously ill from her alcoholism, and 911 should have been called, and the camera person/people didn't do anything.

A recent episode really pissed me off. The old lady counselor spoke of a self-harmer (the woman beat herself), and said that she manipulates the situation and the people around her, and half of what she says is lies. She said something to the effect that all mentally ill people (or possibly she only meant self-harmers, but that wasn't the impression I got) were liars. I won't say I never lie, but I am a very honest person, which I became a long time ago when I was a Christian. That's one thing I felt was a good quality, and kept it.

I don't know how they'll run the OCD series, if they're making it, but people with mental illnesses shouldn't have cameras shoved in their faces or be manipulated into doing a different type of show than what they signed up for (their intentions).
