That’s Just Crazy Talk Is a thoughtful and funny on-woman play that looks at both the light and dark side of living with bipolar disorder, anxiety and psychosis. It is the product of a research study in bipolar disorder exploring the impacts of a ‘lived experience’ theatrical performance on attitudes and understandings of mental health issues. The research is part of a two-year, knowledge exchange project funded by the Canadian Institutes for Health Research in 2009 to the principal investigators, Drs. Erin Michalak and Sagar V. Parikh with the Collaborative RESearch Team to study Bipolar Disorder (CREST.BD), the Canadian Network for Mood and Anxiety Treatments (CANMAT). In this presentation, Dr. Erin Michalak provides an overview of this translational research project, including highlights from preliminary findings. Originally presented in January 2012 in Victoria, BC.

- The KTA project consists of three parts, addressing the topics of stigma, quality of life, and wellness strategies in people with BD. The first component, will be a one woman show performed by Victoria Maxwell (mental health educator) on the topic of stigma. The second component, will be a teaching event facilitated by the study investigators on how to apply and interpret the QoL.BD scale (the Quality of Life in Bipolar Disorder scale) to both consumers and clinicians. The third component, will be disseminating results from the first two components by using a variety of KT strategies. We’re still in the process of developing these methods of dissemination, e.g. postings on the website, workshops in the community, newspaper articles, pro-d events for clinicians. Each part will use tailored KT strategies to share information with two target groups: people with BD and BD healthcare providers. The research will be conducted at two primary sites, Vancouver and Toronto. QoL defined by the WHO as “Individuals’ perception of their position in life in the context of the culture and value systems in which they live, and in relation to their goals, expectations, standards and concerns.”
- Day’s Mental Illness Stigma Scale (DMISS) is a self-report measure of stigmatizing attitudes toward mental illness (Day, Edgren, & Eshleman, 2007). The DMISS consists of 28 items and contains seven subscales: interpersonal anxiety, relationship disturbance, hygiene, visibility, treatability, professional efficacy, and recovery. In this study, we substituted the word ‘mental illness’ with ‘bipolar disorder’. For each item, participants are asked to rate their level of agreement using a seven-point scale ranging from completely disagree (1) to completely agree (7). We also modified the scoring procedures by reverse-coding five items (1, 7, 9, 23, and 28) to ensure that higher scores were consistently indicative of greater levels of stigma across all items and subscales.
- Self-stigma was measured on the Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness (ISMI) scale. The ISMI is a self-report questionnaire that is designed to measure the internalized,subjective experiences of stigma for people living with mental illness (Ritsher, Otilingam, & Grajales, 2003). The ISMI consists of 29 items and contains five subscales: alienation, stereotype endorsement, discrimination experience, social withdrawal, and stigma resistance. For each item, participants are asked to rate their level of agreement using an anchored four-point scale that ranges from strongly disagree (1) to strongly agree (4). Subscale scores and a total score are calculated by averaging the respondents’ ratings, with higher scores indicating higher levels of self-stigma.
- Clinician attitudes The Mental Illness: Clinicians’ Attitudes Scale – Version 4 (MICA-4) is a self-report measure of health care professionals’ attitudes toward people with mental illness (Kassam, Glozier, Leese, Henderson, & Thornicroft, 2010). The MICA-4 poses 16 statements for which participants are asked to rate their level of agreement using an anchored six-point scale ranging from strongly agree (1) to strongly disagree (6). Reverse-coding was performed on ten items. The scores for each item were summed to produce a single overall score. Higher DMISS overall scores indicate greater levels of stigmatizing attitudes toward mental illness.
