"More than 5 million Americans are affected by bipolar disorder, but it was one person in particular who influenced co-director Lisa Klein to make the documentary 'Of Two Minds.' That would be Klein's older sister Tina, who died at age 42. The personal connection gives 'Of Two Minds' (co-directed with Doug Blush) its greatest strength, the intimate bond it establishes with a trio of people coping with the manic-depressive nature of the illness.
. . . These bright, lively people who tend to feel the necessity to 'play sane every day' are completely candid with the filmmakers. They talk about the black depressions, suicide attempts and difficult relationships that can be business as usual for anyone living with the affliction."
