Touched with fire: Reframing the dialogue of bipolar

We’ve talked a lot with new PatientsLikeMe member Paul, diving into issues like getting a diagnosis, management and coping, and overcoming stigma.  Now, Paul is sharing how he’s trying to change the conversation about bipolar through his debut feature film, Touched with Fire. Here he talks about framing Touched with Fire as a love story because in a condition defined by emotional extremes, he says that having those extremes take on the form of love “outshines any clinical label or diagnostic book that you’ll never see it in the same way again.” Watch how Paul is changing the dialogue around bipolar: Having trouble watching the video?
