Went away for a week or so, I'm feeling a bit better now. Motivated and keen to do stuff.

I'm hunting for some inspiration. I use to be quite into writing until I started uni so for the past 4 years I haven't written much. I now have the motivation to do so again and would like to write a feature length film with a mental health/pro-psychiatry theme and whatever flows from that - friendship, family, careers, love etc. But I'm not sure on what characters I want and what the plot could be. My friend suggested having a focus on bipolar as I have a personal experience there. Ideas? Help me brainstorm, please!

And in case you were wondering, I am a film school graduate that mainly works as an editor or producer. Last film I produced and wrote was about 4-5 years ago so if you're a writer, any tips would help as I'm a bit out of practice!

I want to go for a more pro medical science/ pro psychiatry position because I've seen enough horror style films using the anti position to scare their audience when really I want this to be educational. I don't want to promote any woo woo health ideas and I rather piss off group like the Citizens Committee on Human Rights the same way they piss me off. :P

So what do YOU hate about films that cover mental health issues? What do you LOVE about them? Give me examples of films/TV series that I should see, both the good and the bad. What do you want to see in films dealing with mental health more? Please give me any ideas you have.
