Writing a script on mental illness

Posted by delna on February 1, 2004, at 8:58:11

Hi all
I guess I've never posted to this board before- I usually post on the meds list.
Anyway I am writing a script on mental illness, for the stage. I'm just starting and wanted any ideas prople may have.
I'm here in India (visiting for a while) where mental illness isn't even taken seriously by the average person and as god's curse by others. I am writing partly to despell the myths people have and also to show that mental illness is as serious as any other illness. This is a highly taboo subject here but I really want to write something candid and realistic.

I do have my own insight into mental illness as I have had a long and 'colorful' psychiatric history. Now i am better- and finally correctly diagnosed as bipolar II.
So just wondering if anyone has any views or would be kind enough to share some ideas. It would be greatly apprecited.
Thanks
Delna
