Suparna Bhasin and Patrick McGorry: âWe hit it off straight away in terms of a common purpose.â Credit:Justin McManus PATRICK: I was introduced to Suparna in 2018 at the Melbourne premiere of a documentary about depression called Happy Sad Man. Suparna disclosed that her life had been turned upside down by episodes of bipolar illness, which hadnât been treated well. Thatâs what Iâve been working on, so we hit it off straight away in terms of a common purpose. She was incredibly warm, engaging and very unfiltered; she just said exactly what she thought. She had this passion to change things and that American confidence that gets things done.
