NNDC Presents BrainStorm - Film Screening and Panel Discussion

This public education event is available to registered conference attendees and UT Austin students and faculty at no additional charge. BrainStorm follows six compelling people living with bipolar in their journey from devastation to recovery. The film connects their experiences with the latest bipolar brain science to shed light on potential causes and successful treatments. Through the stories, we learn that bipolarity exists on a spectrum, that two out of three people with bipolar do not exhibit classic signs of mania and, as a result, are consistently misdiagnosed. Yet when properly diagnosed and treated, they can and do live full, rich — and even extraordinary — lives. BrainStorm opens up a timely and crucial conversation about diagnosis and treatment to save lives, maximize healing, and end stigma for millions of people around the globe who live with bipolar, and all those who love them.
