Linda Bishop

God Knows Where I Am is the story of Linda Bishop, a well-educated New Hampshire mother who suffered from severe bipolar disorder with psychosis, who was intermittently incarcerated and homeless, inevitably being committed for three years to a state psychiatric facility. Successfully fighting her sister's protective attempts to be named her legal guardian, Linda was able to refuse treatment and medication, and eventually procured an early, unconditional release, despite the lack of post release planning.

In May 2008, the body of Linda Bishop was found in an abandoned New Hampshire home along with a journal that documented her journey of starvation and loss of sanity. God Knows Where I Am, premiering Monday, October 15 at 10 p.m. on PBS (check local listings) tells Bishop's story; a well-educated New Hampshire mother diagnosed with severe bipolar disorder with psychosis, who was intermittently incarcerated and homeless.
