Today I speak with Ava about her sister, Sarah, and her struggle to find the right treatment for Sarah's bipolar disorder. Ava and Sarah are both successful physicians, and Sarah's behavior did not present with any symptoms of illness her entire life. But when Sarah is diagnosed in her mid-forties, her impressive life and career is disrupted by treatment resistant bipolar illness and she is in dire need of good care.
Although Ava lives 500 miles away from Sarah, she becomes Sarah's best advocate, working with doctors to find a solution to Sarah's worsening symptoms and the collapse of her high achieving life. Ultimately, with the support of Ava and her family, and the often stigmatized Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT), Sarah's life is finally restored.
