Why Carrie Fisher Became A Spokeswoman For Bipolar Disorder

By Alicia Sparks

In light of the release of Wishful Drinking, Carrie Fisher’s new memoir, Newsweek published excerpts of an interview with the actress/script doctor/bipolar disorder spokeswoman late last week.

Especially of interest is Fisher’s answer when interviewer Ramin Setoodeh asks her about her decision to advocate for bipolar disorder awareness. Fisher tosses in a few intriguing exchanges between herself and her doctors, but really sounds the horns when she calls out insurance companies and their mental health coverage - or, lack thereof.

You know, I think I really like Carrie Fisher.

And no, no, I haven’t read the memoir yet. I haven’t read much of anything lately (that I’d admit to, anyway).
