I agree that the three people portrayed were interesting. It was good that they were clearly different, as was their bipolar disorder. course. The golfer seemed to have a very classic type of bipolar type 1. I thought that the female could have had more of a bipolar type 2 or milder type 1. I was more baffled by the young drummer. His presentation was not classic at all. More ultra rapid cycling?

I recall the drummer saying he was on Valium and an antidepressant only. And didn't he say Valium was more PRN? That's odd. Frankly, if I was in his shoes that med combo would have done me a lot more harm than good. The lady mentioned an antidepressant and an antipsychotic. I think the AP could be considered a moodstabilizer. They sort of are nowadays. As for the golfer, no mention of meds was made, but can we really assume there aren't/weren't in the picture?

When the lady went to the therapist I was happy that she finally received some, but her optimism after only the very 1st session seemed premature.Not that therapy isn't often very helpful, but who knows if THAT therapist is going to work out. The documentary almost implied that will save her, in some way. In any case, I saw her as the most willing/determined of the three to really work at curbing the disorder.I assumed that her husband was supportive, too.

What made my eyes roll most was when the interviewer seemed (my perception) to imply to the golfer that his always wanting to win is part of his main problem. Not that it doesn't play a role, but working through that tendency through psychotherapy sure wouldn't "cure him" of bipolar disorder, most likely.
