Anyone have any suggestions for must see movies or documentaries related to bipolar/mental illness?
I recently watched Making a Killing: The Untold Story of Psychotropic Drugging and found it to be interesting. |

i recently came across a movie called, "all she ever wanted". i was looking for a movie at the time with the same name, but came across this: it's about this bipolar girl rachel, and she is pregnant. the movie is about her and the choices that she makes- or are made for her at times by the medical staff. their is also the obvious one.. silver lineing's playbook, but i wasn't too pleased with that |

There's a short film called "being Ida" on YouTube. I don't know how to post links from my phone but it was a great video. She never specifies what mental illness she has but it seems like bipolar to me. But it really does capture exactly what it's like. For me anyway.

Lars and the Real Girl with Ryan Gosling was really cool, examining what might happen when a community is untypically supportive of a person's persistent delusion. Really sweet film.

"Silver Linings Playbook"
Incidentally I saw this with my son and it was an epiphany for him in that he had a sudden realization and understanding of what it is to have a mental illness |
