Zeta-Jones’ bipolar revelation hoped to reduce stigma

First Published:

Charlie Sheen took fans and the media on a walk Friday night, to raise awareness of bipolar disorder.


He has publicly said he isn’t bi-polar but instead — “bi-winning.”
Psychiatrists won’t dare diagnose Sheen judging by his erratic behaviour – but Oscar-winning actress, Catherine Zeta-Jones has publicly admitted to suffering from the disorder.
Experts say her openness will help to reduce the social stigma of mental illness.
Cindy Csordas reports.
