Dad's an architect; Mom rushes to pack lunches and pour cereal; their daughter and son are bright, wise-cracking teens, appearing to be a typical American family. And yet their lives are anything but normal because the mother has been battling bipolar disorder for 16 years. Next to Normal takes you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, challenging societal norms and shining a light on the struggles many face behind closed doors.
