Mairs’ essay discusses having a disability in a world where disability is ignored, especially by the media.

People with disabilities and their caretakers are stigmatized for not being able to keep up, but they are not viewed as not having a “real” disability if they are too productive. Instead of viewing this as a symptom for their disease or disability, Hillyer believes this is a healthier way of living, and she encourages her readers to adopt similar techniques for managing their responsibilities. She especially criticizes the unrealistic, fast-paced speed that women are expected to maintain, despite personal obstacles. Hillyer, having lived in the intersection between the feminist and disability communities for most of her life, emphasizes the importance of allowing women to abandon the traditional concept of a highly productive “superwoman” and instead replace it with the knowledge that every woman dealing with a disease or disability, in themselves or loved ones, is a

Summary Of Secret Life Of The Manic Depressive By Stephen Fry

When watching Stephen Fry with BBC (2006) in The Secret Life of the Manic Depressive, I personally found myself challenging the emerging information, much like the narrator of the documentary. There are differences between the detection and treatment of bipolar disorder in the United States versus Great Britain. Overall, the United States utilizes a system of early detection for multiple disorders, including bipolar. Great Britain however, acts under the assumption that a bipolar diagnosis should be avoided until adulthood, and I am inclined to agree (BBC, 2006). There are both biological and diagnostic considerations to consider when providing a bipolar diagnosis.
