During the height of Charlie Sheen hysteria, Jessica Gimeno, The Balanced Mind Foundation's new podcaster and blogger, posted a poll asking if it's a good thing when wild celebs like Sheen are labeled bipolar. Shortly after, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Demi Lovato revealed their bipolar diagnoses.

"This is a disorder that affects millions of people and I am one of them…
There is no need to suffer silently and there is no shame in seeking help.”
--Catherine Zeta-Jones

Thank you, Catherine Zeta-Jones!

The Academy Award-winning actress is not a victim, she is not ashamed, and she is not hiding. With a brief, empowering statement about her bipolar illness, Ms. Zeta-Jones has made bipolar disorder and depression a little less scary and stigmatizing.
