" I loved it too! Something to know for people who think we are "just lazy" and can "snap out of it". Also, felt like he should not have tapered Lithium. BIG mistake.... I tried to do it, thinking I was fine. Lasted a month. Then came trouble ... Back on it now.

Very good movie! Very emotional, made me sad :( "

" Hi
I found it on AMAZON: Copy and paste into yuor browser)
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002FU6F1...

Also check out Netflix:

This is a pretty intense movie and I hope that the generl public will watch it and get a better understanding of the sheer Hell people go through who have this.

The average Joes in the world ( including the doctors) have no idea how it feels or what it is like -they cannot empathize with someone who has it because they have never experienced it and probably never will.
It's a disorder not a disease. "

" You can also find it on youtube. Just type in boy interrupted and you'll find it. It's broken down into 10 different videos.

Its a great story but extremely sad. What a tragedy for him and his family. Get some Kleenex ready if you plan on watching "

" Loved the film! Put into words and sometimes actions how I've felt many times. Brings good insight to an outsider's POV. "
