BringChange2Mind on NBC Nightly News Tonight

Wednesday November 11, 2009
For those who have been following the anti-stigma campaign of BringChange2Mind, Glenn Close and her sister, Jessie Close as well as other members of the BringChange2Mind.org team will be on NBC Nightly News TONIGHT, Wednesday, November 11, at 6:30PM EST.

Beth Lee, commenting on our blog Stigma - A Toxic, Deadly Hazard to Be Eliminated shares, "I was able to see Glenn Close and her sister interviewed on The View. It was an excellent interview. Glenn Close said that there was a history of bipolar and other mental illnesses in her family. They asked her if she had ever had symptoms herself. She said it has affected her in the form of perfectionism. One can tell she and her sister are very close and they support one another. Her sister also mentioned that a person with bipolar has to accept some side effects from the medications and that it may take a while to get the right combination of meds to help."

Miss the interview? It is available from NBC Nightly News. If you catch this interview or another, share your thoughts. ~Kimberly
