I guess I'm going to be the odd woman out here. I thought it perpetuated the stigma and stereotypes of bipolar people not taking their meds, being resistant to treatment, being violent, etc. I was really hoping to see the character really try to rebuild his life and get back on his feet. It didn't show him really managing his illness when he came out of the hospital. Eventually I suppose he must have to some degree. Well, I won't say too much since many of you haven't seen it yet. I guess I just had to put my two cents in. I was disappointed with it.
