Bipolarized Rethinking Mental Illness (2014)
BIPOLARIZED is about one mans personal journey to heal Diagnosed with bipolar disorder Ross psychiatrist told him he would live with the disorder for the rest of his life and that he would have to take lithium to control symptoms To Ross taking the drug daily felt like a chemical lobotomy leaving him in a foggy druginduced haze Ross ultimately decided to resolve his symptoms outside of conventional medicine He progressively reduced his use of the psychotropic drug lithium at an experimental clinic in Costa Rica What ensued was a selfexploration into alternative treatments to treat his condition and a journey delving into the root cause of his mental breakdown The film uses Ross personal experiences to tell a larger story about medication It will reveal how we are labelling more and more people with mental illnesses and how in tandem we are prescribing more and more toxic psychotropic drugs to treat these illnesses
