The revelation that the seemingly unshakable actress Catherine Zeta-Jones has been diagnosed with bipolar II disorder illustrates the hallmarks of the disease: it can strike at any time in a person's life and is often brought on by prolonged stressed. Although mental health conditions, including bipolar disorder are often stigmatizing, ABC News consultant Howard Bragman says Zeta-Jones' public announcement of her condition may help others seek help for their own mental health. "No matter what the reason it was courageous on her part to own this to such a specificity," Bragman told "Good Morning America." "I think it will create a teachable moment in a dialogue among health care people, among normal people."

I am happy that so many celebraties aren't trying to hide their disorders and are sharing them with the public. Someone somewhere will see that and the seed will get planted that they to can live a normal life if they seek help and treatment.
