Bill Lichtenstein, founder of Lichtenstein Creative media, has bipolar disorder himself. In his fight against stigma he has won many, many awards for his works to educate people. Bill has spoken to our group many times and we have been excited to follow his works. His programs can be listened to for no charge by those who have Real Player. Also, you can listen to the Infinite Mind Series on Sundays at 7:00AM at 820 on the AM dial. It is hosted by Fred Goodwin, MD -- a guru on affective disorder with an incredible set of credentials. Many other subjects are also included. They are educational, interesting and very worthwhile. (If there is a question about time please call WNYC at 212-669-7800.)
