Bipolar Disorder in “Your Friends & Neighbors”

Your Friends & Neighbors, a new series on AppleTV starring John Hamm, Amanda Peet and Olivia Munn, is a Breaking Bad-style wild ride into the sardonic side of human nature.

A show full of contrasts makes a good canvas for an authentic and poignant depiction of bipolar disorder, as seen in the character of our (anti)hero’s sister Ali, played brilliantly by Lena Hall.

Join us on this episode as we dive into the many psychological rabbit holes offered in this truly entertaining series.
