Ik heb hem vorig jaar al gezien en met de psycholoog en psychiater over gehad. Vandaar dat ik denk dat ik ook een bipolaire stoornis erbij heb. Ja bij al die andere, haha. (wrang)
Het lijkt alsof ik mezelf zie. Alleen gebeurde dit bij mij niet op 5-jarige leeftijd maar op 12 jaar.
RIP Evan

Sorry in engels.
Boy interrupted.
"Boy Interrupted" tells the story of an emotionally unstable kid whose parents loved him -- but it wasn't enough
Evan Scott Perry suffered from bipolar disorder which led to his suicide at 15
His parents, the filmmakers, ask the eternal question, "Why?" and retrace the youth of the beautiful boy who liked to say, "Die." Who liked to play at killing himself...hanging himself. A boy who, at the ridiculously young age of five, spoke plainly, muttered matter-of-factly, about the act often referred to as the most selfish of them all. And so the record-keeping began. And the Prozac. And the reminiscences about the uncle who'd committed suicide at 21.
Listening to Dylan, Nirvana, Neil Young. Songwriting - a nine-year-old with a guitar and a threatening tone that touted morbidity, mortality and self-mutilation. Poems and plays of darkness and, again, of dying. Dante in the body of a boy. Not since the much-heralded Capturing the Friedmans has a family been so rawly exposed through evidence caught by the family itself, positioning the parents as both participants and observers in the emotional rollercoaster that is watching their own child choose a path of self-destruction. The only factor of the film that prevents it from being totally debilitating to the viewer is the film's impressive impartiality, the seeming objectivity of the parent filmmakers who would be excused for existing in a state of trauma and grief, but who maintain their composure to commit to the telling of the story of their lives.
This documentary is the stuff of nightmares for any parent: Evan Scott Perry started talking about suicide in kindergarden. He was obsessed with jumping out a window. "Put him in his room for a time out, it's like Keith Moon in a hotel room," says his dad of the impossibility of disciplining him. "He lacked emotional shock absorbers," reports his older half-brother, Nick. Cobbled together from extensive footage that ranges from hysterically funny to heartbreaking, 2009 Sundance film "Boy Interrupted" tells the story of a precocious but emotionally unstable kid who had all the support and encouragement in the world but still managed to slip from his parents' grasp, killing himself at the age of 15.
Created by his filmmaker parents, Dana and Hart Perry, "Boy Interrupted" is a depressing film, but it's also a smart, thoughtful and informative glimpse at a short life that sheds light on how tough it can be to recognize and effectively treat a kid. Most of all, the Perrys' documentary demonstrates that the biggest obstacle for parents is often a teenager's insistence on appearing normal and fine when he or she is a mess inside. Getting at the truth and providing a welcoming sounding board for your kid, as painful as that process can be, begins to look like the most important goal for the parents of any teenager.
Evan Scott Perry.
Born 1990. Died 2004. At the age of only 15 years.
