Bipolar

Evan was a child  who suffered from the bipolar disorder since he was of a very young age, his symptoms could be seen since he was as young as 1 year old, with his actions and the things he said. One thing that was very intense in this video is how they showed the different expresions that Evan said and how he manifested constantly his desire to commit suicide and his fascination on death, to the point that at approximatelly the age of 6 he wrote a play that was enacted and it had as a main subject death and how the other kids would mourn for the loss of his life. Evan was highly extreme, he had incredible mood swings, when he was normal he was seen as highly carismatic and showed a lot of love, and when he was depressed, he got to the point where he showed his mom the way that he was going to commit suicide. The tragic story on the death of the poor child, was when he was taking his medicines after being diagnosed with bipolar disorder, these causing his moods to flatten out and therefor showing no emotions at all, and he was permitted to leave the medications, this causing a chaotic and tragic suicide. This video helped us comprehend how drastic and life changing having this disorder can be, and how it affected not only him, but all of the people that were related to him in any way, since they had to deal with all of the craziness and incredible mood swings and actions he did during his different phases experienced due to the bipolar disorder.
