It is possible to live well with bipolar disorder.
That’s the audacious message of Pack Up Your Sorrows: A Story of Illness, Hope & Transformation, a new documentary featuring Massachusetts folk singer-songwriter Meg Hutchinson. The film invites viewers on a journey with Meg as she seeks to understand her own 18-year experience of bipolar disorder, the first nine years of which went undiagnosed and untreated.
