Infinite Mind Series on Public Radio
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.
This long running series, which aired on public radio from December 1997 to December 2008, is out of production. It was 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.
