LITHIUM: Manhattan, Manic City
In the city that never sleeps, three New Yorkers and their doctor share personal stories of living with bipolar disorder and the element that they have come to rely on to manage their moods: Lithium. Part of the U.K. based 94 Elements project. There are 94 naturally occurring elements, and together they make everything in the world. The stories of the elements are the stories of our own lives – they reveal the patterns of our economies, our relationships with our natural resources, and our own personal histories.
