Thumbs up i was quite favorably impressed...

I liked the way the PSA was phrased... especially:

-- that bipolar was presented as a "brain disorder" which implies chemicals or structure, and not so much psychological factors. such a description is less subject to "they just need to get their act together" reactions from people.

-- the characterization by "unusual or dramatic mood swings" which pretty much covers all types of bipolar, and again, does not sound scandalous

-- noting of the problem of frequent misdiagnosis and consequent improper treatment.

These are things that just don't often get heard. i don't know who wrote that PSA but my compliments to them.

Thanks BF for telling us about it, and Mari for digging it up on you tube!
