Don't be fooled by the false depiction of this mental health client who they have portrayed as having been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. See N.A.M.I. for more information on the disorder. The book "Bipolar for Dummies" didn't upset me as much as this Flop of a movie. Back in the day the movie critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert who rated movies with thumbs up, or thumbs down, would have had a field day with this one, and are probably rolling in their graves right now. Myself, I'm most positive that a majority of the viewing audience who decided to rate this monstrosity would have also given it a definate 2Thumbs Down. Me, myself, I wouldn't be ashamed at all to give this worthless piece... The Finger!

What the character portrays is more like borderline personality disorder, not bipolar, and many people with borderline aren't like that, I speak from experience with both. Borderline is a wide range of different symptoms coming from childhood pain, some are more normal and functional, some are less. People who have bipolar are mostly not so violent, just feeling up and being creative, or depressed maybe creative, sensitive, intelligent, sleep issues, sometimes normal. Maybe can have trouble handling their emotions but I think majority do not kill or harm or else the world would be even crazier. I hope many people know that many people who've had bipolar have contributed greatly to humanity in all disciplines. People with borderline are also intelligent, creative, sensitive, etc. They all just need help, understanding, compassion, nonjudgement. Either way, people need to learn and get educated about mental health. It seems horrible to make a movie that is so misinforming. Another comment suggested a disclaimer and educational information aired before and during commercials.

The writing was OK, but god I can't get over the terrible acting. The lead actress had a very weak, timid and soft voice that definitely wasn't right for the character. Scenes when she was supposed to raise her voice it seemed like it was barely a whisper. She was supposed to be "bipolar" and a bit "violent" and the way she would touch people when being so called "aggressive" was awkward and like a middle school girl trying to intimidate Laila Ali. The other actors in the movie were good, it was the lead actress Yvonne that was awful. She's like a buck soaking wet and she was able to overpower someone and intimidate them in a disagreement so she can push them down the stairs... Yeah right! SUCKED!

I have read the preview information before watching this movie. This movie is misinforming the viewers about those who suffer from bipolar disorder. The villain is supposed to be a young "bipolar woman". First error- people are not Bipolar. They may have Bipolar disorder, but they should not be defined as their disorder. Second, the behaviors that the movie demonstrates as 'Bipolar' are actually characteristic of BPD- Borderline Personality Disorder and ASPD- Anti-Social Personality Disorder. The are similarities between personality disorders like (BPD & ASPD) and mood disorders (Bipolar, SAD, Depression), but the these are not the same disorders. Gillian "the bipolar" is actually portraying serious psychotic behaviors that are typical of BPD & ASPD, but not suffering from bipolar disorder. This movie is horribly misrepresenting all people who have bipolar disorder. It did very effectively stigmatized all who suffer bipolar disorder as psychopaths. Unfortunately the uneducated public will believe this and further their misconceptions towards those with bipolar disorder. If anyone would really like to understand the bipolar disorder or other mood disorders then educate yourselves. There is a vast information base online where you can learn the truth.
