Revealing and Honest

This was a well researched and produced documentary about youth mental illness with heartbreaking and vulnerable testimonies from the youth who live it. I was overwhelmed with their poise and willingness to be so vulnerable. Not only did the documentary focus on the problem but examined solutions. So glad that addiction was included and not given a backseat. I am glad to see there is a study guide and that they included a variety of mental health diagnosis

A few negatives

Patrick Kennedy was annoying in his snippets
The 11 year old diagnosing himself gay is ridiculous
Too many private school rich kids presented who had money for excellent treatment
The 40 year old bipolar guy was not part of the demographic
Would have liked to seen more therapists besides the psychiatrist and the LCPC

But in spite of these few concerns, I applaud this documentary.
