Yes, she is.
It's quite difficult to watch.

I work with young people who experiece this on a daily basis, it's great seeing them recover.
I've been there myself...I've had to stop watching, it brings back too much pain and terror...

Im so sorry OP I hadn't seen your thread and I started one on the same thing.
I am amazed at Stacey's acting and think she's portrayed this condition very well. I don't know much if anything about bi polar but she's had me in tears tonight...

And yes, I'm OK; there's just some painful memories left behind that were being stirred up a bit by EE tonight.

Sarum 
Do you think it's portrayed in a way that it will raise awareness?

Yes, I do.As I said, I couldn't watch all of it; but what I saw was very well presented.
With the size of audience EE gets, it should give a lot of people pause for thought about their views and attitudes toward mental illness.
(sorry about the delay; I went AFK for a bit, and when I came back the forum wasn't working...)
Hell.
Having no knowledge of the condition apart from what I see on TV......has it been portrayed in an accurate timescale? Stacey seems to have gone downhill pretty quickly
I think she has been showing SOME signs of it in the run-up, but it can quite quickly manifest I believe

Stacey from when she turned up 5 years ago was mouthy, moody, wild and fun but when Jean turned up and it was announced that she had Bipolar and that Stacey had been caring for her seems like the signs were there, it seems to have stemmed from when Bradley forced Stacey to abort their baby, Sean leaving, Danielle dying and that affair with Max.
