I agree with you about the fact that I do not enjoy the mania one bit. Personally for me I see no benefit from it, let alone the effect I have on my loved ones. I just watched Part 1 of his documentary, and there are several celebrities he has interviewed. I think these people are happy with there disorder because they believe if they had not had the disease they would not be who they are today. Then at the end of Part 1 he talks to this lady that was a successful lawyer and a ton of other things and the disease has made her completely crippled, and she states that wished she never had the disease. Now there is a woman who is living in our world, the real world, not a celebrities world. I'm planning on watching Part 2 and see how this turns out.
