Societal Progress in Recognizing and Accepting Bipolar Disorder: A Personal Perspective of Living with Recovery

Bill Lichtenstein

The personal stories of those living with psychiatric disabilities, and their recovery, represent some of the most dramatic tales of overcoming life obstacles.  There is tremendous power in "telling your story," both for the person affected, as well as for society. 

Award-winning print and broadcast journalist Bill Lichtenstein chronicles his story, and what led him to create radio, television and films regarding his own bout with bipolar disorder and recovery in the early 1990's, and his professional work for the two decades since.
