According to the site statisticbrain.com, there are 5.7 million adults living as bipolar. 25 years old is the average age of bipolar onset. Sadly, many of those with the illness suffer depression and 20% of the people diagnosed with the disorder commit suicide. In the movie, Pat was an optimistic man and proved that you don’t have to let a disease take over your life. Many celebrities are bipolar themselves. Here’s a list of just a few big names who have the disorder:
1.Catherine Zeta-Jones
2.Demi Lovato
3.Jean-Claude Van Damme
4.Linda Hamilton
5.Britney Spears
This is something that is a very serious topic and people do not usually think so or that it is so frequent. I have yet to see the "Silver Linings Playbook" but from all the awards and nominations I can certainly tell that it is something that should be watched. People would not realize that someone as flawless as Catherine Zeta Jones could have any issues in her life. Bipolar disorder does not make you crazy by certification and people should be open minded to the fact there are many ways people can deal with it. Nonetheless, it comes to no surprise that Britney Spears or Demi Lovato made the list.
ReplyDeleteI didn't see Silver Linings Playbook but I was really intrigued to learn that all of these celebrities were bipolar. I think Catherine Zeta-Jones was the most interesting. Demi Lovato and Britney Spears went "crazy" and everyone assumed they were bipolar but Catherine Zeta-Jones surprised me. Maybe I haven't been keeping up with her but I never saw her have a breakdown so that was interesting.
