FOUR LIVES
A Portrait of Manic Depression
By Jonathan David. Four patients and their families and psychiatrists share their perspectives on living with manic depression, an illness which affects nearly three million Americans. When depressed, these patients have exaggerated feelings of hopelessness, sadness and anxiety. When manic, they experience extreme feelings of ambition and self-confidence. If the high escalates they may become dangerously extravagant, incessantly talking and socially uninhibited. If untreated, one in six may commit suicide. Though the illness can recur throughout a patient's life, effective treatments are now available, and the film explores both medical and psychotherapeutic approaches, as well as the more controversial electroconvulsive shock therapy (ECT). Those battling mental illness will take comfort in the struggles of these courageous people to achieve control over their disorder and their lives.

Follow one man's ordeal as he struggles to cope with one of the worst diseases imaginable.
It is a disease that can rob those it afflicts of the ability to see how sick they are; yet they can legally refuse all aid. Adding to this catch-22, it is still stigmatized and misunderstood by society.
INVESTIGATIVE REPORTS™ interviews physicians, psychiatrists and patients in this probing portrait of THE SHATTERED MIND.
Among the many controversial issues surrounding the disease is the question of mandatory treatment. Experts from New York City's Bellevue Hospital detail the options available to schizophrenics today--and the dangers they pose to society at large. We'll follow the ordeal of Ruth and Ramsay Millar, whose son Aaron refused to take his medication, with disastrous results. But a more promising picture is presented in the story of Marty Cohen, an artist who suffers from the disease without letting it take over his life.
Finally, we'll watch as Dr. Fuller Torrey dissects the brain of a schizophrenic, showing the physical evidence of the disease's destruction.
Join Bill Kurtis for an authoritative investigation of THE SHATTERED MIND.

This riveting documentary shows the transformation that has occurred in psychiatric care through the pioneering work of Dr. Heinz Lehmann. When Dr. Lehmann fled Nazi Germany to Montreal in 1937, he devoted the next sixty years to finding new and more humane treatments for the mentally ill. One of his dramatic achievements, captured on archival film, was a series of experiments involving intense human contact with his most regressed women patients. They had spent their days smearing feces on the wall, but by the end of the treatment were nicely dressed and participating in activities. But Dr. Lehmann's greatest legacy came with a single pill – Largactil – the first anti-psychotic drug used in North America. By successfully treating patients with this drug, Lehmann introduced the world to the idea that biology plays a role in mental illness. While Untangling the Mind is a record of Lehmann's perseverance and humanity, it is also an important historical record. Extraordinary archival footage of doctors performing electric shock therapy and lobotomies demonstrate how far psychiatric medicine has come. The film takes us to the world's leading brain research center in Washington, D.C. where Lehmann's remarkable work is being taken to the next level. This film will be an indispensable resource for courses in the history of psychiatry. College Adult
