Stephen Fry knows that the taunting voice in his head is a symptom of his bipolar disorder, but he has not sought medical treatment for the disease. In this program Fry looks into the options available for bipolar disorder patients after discovering that his illness has progressed. Like many, he rejects lithium due to its cognitive dulling effect, though actor Richard Dreyfuss tells Fry he had great success with the drug. Fry speaks with people who have tried electroshock therapy—still in use and surprisingly effective—and cognitive behavioral therapy. Most report that the manic highs of the disease are worth the lows, but struggle to live a balanced life.
