Bipolar Beat

Yesterday, on Good Morning America, accomplished actress Glenn Close and her sister Jessie Close spoke about mental illness in their family (watch the clip). Except for George Stephanopoulos saying that Jessie “is” bipolar, I thought it was a good piece. The Close sisters did an excellent job of presenting bipolar, the stigma surrounding it, and the necessity of making a commitment to manage the disorder.

Please watch the video and share your insights.
