> 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.
