Bipolar Disorder


Before watching "Boy Interrupted" when i though about bipolar disorder i only though about it being about crazy people who have mood swings that change every minute, i never really understood how serious it was. The documentary was very shocking and sad and i though it was very informative. I felt so bad for Evan's parents because i now see that this is a very distructive condition that also has very fatal consequences for a lot of people. I was also really impressed by Evan's parents in the sense that it must have taken a lot of their part to gather their strength and talk about their son and his suicide in order to prevent and maybe inform people about how serious bipolar disorder is. I can not even imagine how horrible it must be to have such a condition in which you struggle for your life every single day and having a condition that has no cure. I think that the most shocking part of the video was learning that even was obsessed about death and planning his own death when he was just a little boy and i can't imagine how horrible it must have felt for his mother that nobody really believed her what was happening. I really enjoyed the documentary and i feel it opened my eyes to this disorder that i did not really know a lot about.
