Love Bound
About the Film
Taking viewers behind closed doors to experience intimate group therapy sessions for empathic and stressed parents, many of the caregivers featured in the film have children who will require specialized care throughout their entire lives. The parents struggle to maintain their own health, careers and social lives while meeting their kids’ unique needs—schizophrenia, ADHD, bipolar disorder and suicidal ideation.
“Love Bound: When Your Child Becomes Mentally Ill” explores parents’ struggles to balance their children’s needs with their own well-being, highlighting unconditional love and the uncertainty of caregiving within an overburdened welfare system.
