Channel 4 | Modelling Mania & Me

This inspiring yet heart-wrenching film follows model and presenter Rosie Viva's journey to get her life back after being sectioned and diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

In 2018, Rosie set off the fire alarm at Stansted Airport and ended up on a psychiatric ward. The following weeks and months saw her suffer from mania, hallucinations and severe depression. Rosie describes it as the worst few weeks of her life.

After coming to terms with her diagnosis, Rosie is on a mission to find happiness and raise awareness of bipolar in young women, but is the industry she knows and loves ready to listen?
