Clips from Boy Interrupted about Bipolar Depression

[flaregunsx26x]

God loves this little kid , that's why he died .. he's in heaven right now

[bwallace77]

That family tried so hard to help Evan, good family. Just imagine how many parents have no idea or don't care.

[lp4ju]

I can't imagine the horros that evan lived through....he reall has such a beautiful face but to know that he had these "deamons" that didn't let him enjoy life is heartbreaking

[Sirgreaseflick]

Incredibly tactful, relevant, much-needed documentary. It's a complex, though prevalent topic: suicide is on the increase; youth suicide is particularly alarming when you look at the statistics. Because, in this case, Evan displayed impulsive behaviour (wanting to jump from great heights), my only quibble is that his bedroom had an unlocked window with access to a building shaft: had it been locked (which it should have, considering it had no view), maybe Evan could have been saved. Hard to know

[iclandgirl]

@Sirgreaseflick He would have found another way.

[blacksnypper]

im bipolar too and i understand the reasons he had to, i would kill myself but i dont want anybody to cry for me biipolar desorder is a real illness

[proudtobeme89]

I was diagonesed with Bi-polar disorder and depression...so this hits really close to home :/

[CARRIEMARIA]

My son is turning 15 this year. This is very , very difficult to watch now. Matter of fact Im turning it off. Seeing this child grow up on these vids is just too close to my heart as a mother. I thank GOD my son is happy and healthy.

@CagedChimp would it be possible for me to get this clip somehow and use it in a psychology project?

[peterabbid]

I didn't think I'd be so affected by this but when I saw Evan 1990 - 2005 my heart just broke.

[StayxxBrutalxx]

this documentary makes me cry everytime i think about suicide everyday and im 16 so this really touches me.

[StayxxBrutalxx]

this documentary makes me cry everytime

[justafriend026]

i thought was such a sad movie and he was such a good looking boy....

[EmmaRose473]

I saw this documentary. The parents discussed how often Evan would say that 'he was not little'...how he played guitar and wrote lyrics at an age that were not 'proper' for his age, etc. etc. They also comment how Evan's uncle committed suicide, but nobody knew 'what his problems were'...if one watches this carefully, one can 'realize' that Evan was his uncle reincarnated...Watch this, and then judge for yourself...it's like the uncle had to come back to be 'diagnosed'...really sad

[pinkhousemob]

depressioin such as he had is caused by demons. Its unfortunate that they make money from selling people drugs that wont fix their problems

[LukeShetler]

@pinkhousemob Y'know what happened when the medical field recognized that demon possession was a myth and they started treating people with proper medication and treatment? The life expectancy doubled.

I'm on these 'useless' medications after 11 years of hell, and they have given me a new life.

You have no evidence or logic behind your claims, whereas the medication has research to back it up. I'm sure you've never talked to anyone with bipolar disorder. Also, lithium is insanely cheap.

[pinkhousemob]

@LukeShetler I know from first hand experience that it is nothing more than demonic oppresion. Im sorry youre ignorant of that fact.

[blacksnypper]

@pinkhousemob try not to make such an stupid comment about suicide try to respect the suffering of the family and also the suffering af all bipolar people in the whole world struggleling with this severe chemical deffect in our brains im bipolar too, no one that isnt bipolar can get it screw you asshole

[blacksnypper]

@blacksnypper can u read once again my comment im bipolar and also have borderline personality desorder of course i undertand the way it makes u feel, you are the one who doesnt repect people i tried to kill myself twice last year and spend almost all year long in hospital, maybe i was selflish didnt think of my family and the way it would have affected them but do they think of me... dont tnink so

[omgthazjulie]

aww he's so cute, if he was alive i'd hug him (even if he didn't look the same as the pics or baby vid) he'd prob shove me and be like "wtf are you doing?" lol. I'm bipolar too I can see what the parents are going through.

[kylemiller500]

i saw this, and it depressed me a whole lot, i went suicidal depressed, cutting, not cuz of the movie but cuz of my life, then i was sent to a mental hospital

[omgthazjulie]

@kylemiller500 oh my god that's not any happier than the film, hope you're ok.

[XxBbyLuVxX]

Evan Scott Perry.

[MrDeronjordan]

@XxBbyLuVxX ....I struggle everyday with bipolar depression...Some days I feel that I can manage my symptoms just fine,and then I have such a strong desire to end my pain and suffering...My coping skills are getting better as I get older,so when I have these unpleasant thoughts,the only thing I can do is reach out to those who understand and appreciate the goodness in my heart as well as the courage and strength it takes to keep going....thanks for understanding the struggle.

[alexish2008]

let Evan's story inspire you to help yourself and others as well...you never know what will happen... RIP Evan Scott Perry
