How do you feel about the Stephen Fry documentary on bipolar disorder?

Watched both parts over the past few weeks and having some mixed reactions. One thing that really struck me though is how different I feel from some of the people portrayed even though we have the same diagnosis. I even found some of them to be quite unlikeable.

I also don't like the degree bipolar gets romanticized when it comes to the "creative" aspects of the disorder. Maybe some people find it comforting to feel like it gives them special powers or put them in the same group as famous creatives but I am hesitant to get behind any logic that it's a gift rather than a disease. They asked several guests whether they would get rid of it if they could and several said no, one even went so far as to endorse his psychosis as a positive experience. I just think that paints a rosy picture of what is a net negative for most people.

There were parts that I did find relatable especially the drive to self medicate and the descriptions of mania and depression. However I can't say I would recommend it to others as a first watch if they don't have any prior knowledge. I didn't feel like they captured my experience. Thoughts?
