I started viewing the video you linked to.

I haven't watched the whole thing, but I've seen pieces of it before on YouTube. I just didn't know that the videos I've seen were actually part of that documentary. (I guess some people on YouTube like to take bits and pieces from that documentary and upload them as short videos without giving proper credit.)

Anyway, the beginning is very interesting. I've never seen that part. It just goes to show how uneducated people are about mental illness in general, which is sad. It also makes me wish that schools would educate students on mental health and highlight the importance of seeking help, especially since a lot of kids get bullied and end up depressed and/or anxious.

In general, I think the video is very good for educating people on bipolar disorder. It captures the illness quite well.

I don't know if my friends or loved ones would watch it, mostly because it's long and it may bore them. (My friends and family tend to get bored easily. IDK.) I also haven't actually disclosed my illness to anyone, but I suppose if I did, I would show them certain parts of the documentary, especially where they describe what mania is and what it's like.
