part two of my stephen fry documentarys writeup (click here for link)

well not only do i think that Stephen Fry's new programme is very brave and important but also his wonderful and honest look at the "secret life of the manic depressive"
program which was shown last year and i still think like "HIV & me" should be available to buy on DVD as they would be great educational and candid exposes of these subjects. of which i cant think of any one better than Mr fry detailing on these subjects.
the subject of manic depression is one which I'm starting to learn more of not just through programs like Stephens but also through personal experience with both a very close friend of mine whom i love dearly but also suffers tremendously with this condition and also my husband.
its a subject that to be honest before this i knew very little if anything about and its one of the most difficulty things i have to live with apart from my own M.E. in my life at the moment.
Mr fry also lives with manic depression and has used this for good esp making it know to those whom like myself knew little or nothing about it. although the condition can be very good for the person in the sense of mass creativeness it can also be quite destroying for those who have it and those who love the person living with it.
if you want to read a boo on the subject i know there are many but my husband has just read "Touched with fire" about the condition and its creative side.
ill try and write more later but i suggest if you want to learn more of the subjects mentioned that you try and learn about them as i believe education is key in fighting both the conditions and also how we look at those who live with them.
