Bipolar in the Media: Boosting or Busting the Stigma
Filed Under living with biplolar disorder | 28 Comments
Posted by Beatrice Laurey (bp Magazine Graphic Designer)
After reading the posts on Britney over the past few weeks it has become clear that many feel that all the publicity around Britney and other celebrities has added to the stigma that surrounds bipolar disorder. We saw a few responses, however, that lead us to believe that, if handled more responsibly, the media frenzy around celebrities such as Britney Spears, may be an invaluable opportunity to educate the general population about bipolar disorder and effectively lessen the stigma. How can this be achieved? Do you feel that this is a possibility or do you think that the current climate suggest that the stigma will continue to grow? Would the subject of bp in the media be an interesting article that bp Magazine should pursue?
