Any interest in a Documentary about Schizoaffective disorder?

Being diagnosed with this illness I am very knowledgeable about the subject.
I also have noticed that it is less known than schizophrenia.
for a number of years I have worked with the mental health charity mind on various projects and I think we could possibly make something with them.

Just an idea, throwing it out there.

Well, the main focus of the Doc is about the stigma involving mental illness and the word "Schizo";
What it means to people and how they have learnt about it.
While comparing my story to what people really think Schizophrenia is.

Mental health is such a rich, complex area, and peoples expressions of and relationships with their conditions vary so wildly that any documentary would need to be quite focused in scope before anyone would know if it was interesting (as a documentary). From a narrative perspective, what's the story? What's the jeopardy?
