Ride the Tiger: A Guide Through the Bipolar Brain (2016)

The reality of bipolar disorder is hard to fathom: five-and-a-half million Americans have been diagnosed with the disorder and yet so little is known about how the illness manifests itself in our brains. “Ride the Tiger” tells the story of highly accomplished individuals--congressmen, attorneys, pastors, authors and stay-at-home moms who have been diagnosed as bipolar. Welcome to PBS America, a channel curated for an international audience from America's Public Broadcasting Service, PBS.
