I just watching the BBC2 programme about Manic Depression with Stephen Fry.
I must say its really shook me up. :shocking: I know most people get depressed now and then, but can anybody help me or point me in the right direction with reagrds Bi Polar disorder and understanding it a bit better.
I wish i had never watched it, but i couldnt turn off as I wanted to know more.
Has anyone else seen the programme ?
Cheers

Was the second one good?
It was one of those programmes I didnt want to watch because it doesnt make you feel good, but I could not quite manage to turn over.
On another forum I go on - in fact, it's Stephen Fry's very own site - a guy joined and posted and said he thought there was no such thing as bi-polar and that it was made up. He also said his sister had 'pretended' to have OCD for most of her life.
I was stunned that someone had joined just to post that and also that someone could have such an ignorant atitude tbh.
I think Stephen Fry's programme was excellent and has done more to make people aware of this debilitating condition. He should be applauded.
Here's TheSite's article on bipolar/manic depression
The BBc also did a booklet on bipolar, which is really in-depth if you want to find out more.
Hope these help you understand it a bit better
