The Year Between - currently streaming on Peacock - is the comedic, yet viscerally real depiction of a young adult learning to live alongside her recent bipolar diagnosis - all while juggling a leave of absence from college, family life, the Chicago suburbs, friendships,  therapy, and new self-care routines. In conversation with Alex Heller (Writer, Director, and Star of The Year Between), HaJ (Executive Producer of The Year Between), Alexa James (CEO of National Alliance of Mental Illness (NAMI) Chicago), we traverse the making of The Year Between and discuss how raw, real, and sometimes chaotic depictions of mental illness on screen help shatter the stigma.
