Lithium by Nirvana reflects mania

Jeffrey — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 16:30:16 +0000

Interesting perspective on bipolar disorder found within Nirvana’s infamous “Lithium” song.

Black Rainbow Comics “Here Today, Gone Tomorow”

Jeffrey — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 16:30:03 +0000

Here today and gone tomorrow is a phrase that has a lot of different meanings to me. Unfortunately, it’s a phrase often applied to sad situations more often than not. However, in this strip, the ending is somewhat happy though I am sure Andes would beg to differ.

It’s a great look when an iconic television series such as the EastEnders from the United Kingdom addresses serious mental health issues with it’s young adult characters. Specifically, character Stacey Slater suffers from bipolar disorder. Hopefully, the show will generate interest and awareness amongst it’s audience to learn more and perhaps even seek help.
