Living the roller-coaster
Description
Living the Roller-Coaster explores the experiences of two young women attending Stanford University who were diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. Through their voices and those of family and friends, the documentary describes mania and depression as well as their common interpersonal ramifications. Among details provided is the fact that the onset of illness is typically between the ages of 18 and 21. For this reason, the film provides a particularly relevant introduction for college students and other young people about a condition that remains misunderstood despite its prevalence.
