Hi buddah1too! I watched the video. My thoughts and feelings varied, as I watched it. Overall, I didn't think the documentary was that well done. The female host made a couple interesting observations, but caused what I believe would be confusion, as well. That, or the editor cut out some crucial bits. Also, at points I felt they were representing it as mostly an "emotional disorder", rather than a "mood disorder". Indeed, there were definitely some emotional issues clearly represented, and I'm aware many of us have them, but that was a misleading tendency on their part. I think.

I do agree with the female host that perhaps bipolar disorder (I dislike that she referred to it as only "bipolar" the whole time) is an inadequate label. The mere three experiences varied enough to support that. My observations of dozens of others from online and in-person support groups also. My psychiatrist has said as much a few times.
