Mental illness of any sort is often hard to understand and treated with various stigmas in society. Stephen Fry takes us through his own battle with mental illness: Manic Depressive Disorder.

Stephen Fry has always been a hero of mine for only a few years now, but my admiration for him grows more and more.

“In candid interviews, we hear tales of mood swings and extremes of behaviour that can leave a sufferer living like Jekyll and Hyde; with reckless aggression, crazy sex, wild decisions and criminal impulses all thrown in.

And we hear about the lows that make you wonder how they survive.”
