During my times of dealing with and coming into contact with all sorts of people for so long, most days I woke up I learned to be so very thankful for good mental health for not only myself but my children and spouse as well. Often, I would grow frustrated with my co-workers - who were supposed to be trained "professionals" when dealing with people - when it came time to deal with people with mental illness. How quick they would seem to lose the ability to discern the person before them with mental illness was with a mental illness. Too often these co-workers would fail to, or ignore, the need to take the apparent mental illness of the person into account as fully as they should have. I just saw this documentary on sportscaster Mauro Ranallo called Bipolar Rock 'N Roller. My goodness. It knocked my socks off. This documentary is one goddamneed powerful piece on a person that is bi-polar. For the viewer, one is fortunate that through his life in media he has so much video of himself that captures his behavior. And through viewing this documentary you walk away just hoping and willing this man to find peace. If there is one documentary you see this year, make it this one......For those of that are fortunate to have a good mental health life it is a reaffirmation of how lucky we are......here's the link to it...
