The most honest film about mental illness, creativity, and bipolar disorder

There have been many films about young people confined, sometimes against their will, to mental hospitals - from David & Lisa to Cuckoo's Nest to Girl Interrupted to Silver Linings Playbook and many more - but I have to say Paul Dalio's Touched with Fire treats the mental illness more directly, accurately, and honestly that any film in this genre that I've seen. The temptation in all of these films is to romanticize mental illness and demonize the mental-health workers, and, from the title - which is also the title of a book by a psychiatrist about the link between creativity and mental illness (Dr. Jameson, and she actually appears in this film as herself, explaining some of her findings to the lead characters), we see starkly in this film how bipolar disorder is tragic and can ruin the lives of those it touches (including family members of the sufferers). The film is about two 30-somethings, each a poet afflicted with severe bipolar, who meet in the hospital and try to make a life together upon their release. They're good writers, at times - serious poets, not amateurs - but they push each other to extremes, their relationship see-saws as they together go on and off medications. Their family members try, with varying degrees of success and comprehension, to help but they are off on their own dangerous course, seemingly beyond help - although at the end one is doing somewhat better -  I won't give anything away - yet we sense that both are always in danger. There are many fine scenes, but among the very best are the group therapy session in the hospital and the first get-together of the couple and their well-meaning but uncertain parents. Despite romantic claims and associations, despite the lengthy list at the end of this film of great artists who have suffered from mental illness (not sure the list is accurate), despite quotes from Byron and Shakespeare, bipolar is not a blessing, as this film makes abundantly clear.
