Ça tourne dans ma tête

2010 1 h 12 min
Leaving soon

Ces enfants ont pensé qu'ils étaient fous. Ils ont voulu mourir, ont connu la peur, la rage, le désespoir. Atteints de troubles mentaux, quatre enfants et leurs parents font le choix courageux de raconter leur histoire. À leurs voix s'ajoute celle de la réalisatrice qui a reçu à l'âge adulte un diagnostic de troubles bipolaires et raconte avec une puissance d'évocation les premiers symptômes qui remontent à l'enfance. Ça tourne dans ma tête s'inscrit en marge des débats de spécialistes, adoptant un ton intimiste qui permet de découvrir les enfants derrière les mots angoissants de leur diagnostic.

This documentary attempts to demystify mental illnesses and shed light on why people fear them. Members of four families, including children living with bipolar disorder, share their stories. Steering clear of specialists’ debates, these subjective testimonials employ a more personal approach. Here are some questions to spark discussion: How do we recognize this disease? What are its symptoms? Can you compare the suffering of someone with bipolar disorder with the distress you might feel sometimes? What difference do you see between madness and this illness? What means do families have at their disposal to deal with bipolar disorder? Does Canada have a policy on mental health?
