This documentary is beautiful and moving...it also is a very good depiction of what the extremes of bp1 can be like. Highly recommended.

Seriously, could clear up some misconceptions.

I loved the movie! It was a bit upsetting to me in the sense that his bp was (is) more severe than mine, but it was a harsh reminder that many times the illness gets progressively worse. The thought of my illness getting to that point was worrisome for me. I really loved the story though.

Exactly, because this disorder does happen in differing severities. Fact.

Great film.
However, I just love his music.When I hear his songs and music I don't primarily think of the Bipolar.It is a touching film but his songs are way beyond the labels he is placed under as an ill person.
Some very touching scenes.
Ultimately it's his music that wins.

If you do a search on youtube for the Devil & Daniel Johnston you'll find the movie trailor and then there are several Daniel Johnston videos as well.

It's an independent film. Netflix would most likely have it if you subscribe to it.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
