What people are saying
“For the longest time, I was in that place of closeted shame… I believe there’s such a need to spotlight what bipolar disorder is, what it isn’t, how it can present, and how it can best be treated.”
— Dr. Devika Bhusan, former acting Surgeon General of CA and BrainStorm character
“BrainStorm is truly a magnificent documentary; I am so honored and proud to be part of it! The film educates, inspires, and fosters empathy while advancing public understanding of one of psychiatry’s most complex illnesses.”
— Dr. Holly Swartz, President, International Society for Bipolar Disorders
