Boy Interrupted Reflection

Boy Interrupted is about Evan Perry's bipolar disorder and his sudden death at the age of 15 . When were talking about bipolar disorder we are talking about a phenomenon thats so big that it can cause death . Bipolar disorder is a serious brain illness , that swings a person's emotions from high and irritable to sad and hopeless and then back with periods of normal mood in between . This brain disorder usually starts in adolescence or in adulthood years . In this case for Evan Perry it started in his early years of life , like when he was five years old . Evan's firsts thoughts of death were shown when he was five by talking with his mother about various detailed ways of how he would kill himself . When Evan gets to fifth grade he gets to a professional doctor to back up the disorder . Then life for the Perry's started looking tough with Evan's brothers hoping that Evan will make it through life with his bipolar disorder . Evan;s doctor prescribed lithium for his disorder , but when Evan stopped taking it and went back with death ideas . Finally Evan jumped off the window of their apartment in Manhattan when he had only fifteen years . In his computer besides his bed he had left his suicidal note , with why and why not bullet points for what he would live .


In my opinion I think that this documental about bipolar disorder was though for the audience like me and for all families that have bipolar carriers . This is because we see the death of a carrier of bipolar disorder so it creates a more controversial point . This video was shocking but gives a thought of hope for all the people that have bipolar disorder .
