This review is from: Great Minds of Medicine - Depression [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The movie is an interview with Dr. Kay Redfield Jamison, she talks about her personal and professional experience with Bipolar (Manic Depression) disorder. She is a Professor of Psychiatry at John Hopkins Unversity. Her own experiences with depression and suicide help make the movie more real and personal. A good movie to understand what Bipolar is, the causes, treatments, and potential for recovery.
