Bipolarized
Rita Kotzia / USA / English / 76 min
When Ross McKenzie was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, he was told he would have to take lithium for the rest of his life. To Ross, taking the drug daily felt like a chemical lobotomy, leaving him in a foggy, drug-induced haze, so he opted to resolve his symptoms outside of conventional medicine. Thus Ross began a fifteen year journey to treat his symptoms through alternative treatments and to discover the cause of his mental breakdown. Bipolarized uses Ross' personal experiences as well as interviews with activists and psychiatrists to tell a larger, timely story about medication.
Followed by discussion and Q&A with Sascha Altman Dubral
