Reto a la empatía. El trastorno bipolar a través de los ojos de dos madres y del terapeuta presenta la historia de Amy y Tiffani, dos madres que se conocieron en un grupo de apoyo para padres de niños con problemas de salud mental.

Un relato conmovedor que nos invita a reflexionar sobre la importancia del apoyo familiar y la empatía en el camino hacia la recuperación.
