As I previously discussed, Catherine Zeta Jones recenty sought treatment for her bipolar II disorder. This might be one People magazine that I actually buy outside of an airport. Excerpt:
"This is a disorder that affects millions of people and I am one of them...If my revelation of having bipolar II has encouraged one person to seek help, then it is worth it. There is no need to suffer silently and there is no shame in seeking help."
This is particularly important because the faces of bipolar disorder painted by the media are after particularly frightening, and because there is a lot of speculation about celebrities that *might* be bipolar; for example, Charlie Sheen, who fundraised for a Canadian bipolar awareness organization despite denying that he is bipolar. Ms. Zeta Jones proves that you can be bipolar AND your own advocate, bipolar AND beautiful, bipolar AND successful, bipolar AND eloquent. Thank you.
I know someone also who is Bi and beautiful, Bi and successful, Bi and eloquent, Bi and everything else good
