...and seems psychotic. By definition, schizophrenia is a mental illness that involves a breakdown between thought and behavior with faulty perception, action, delusion, and mental defragmentation. Symptoms can include hallucinations, delusions, with lack of pleasure in everyday life and often social isolation. Contrary to popular belief, schizophrenia is not the same thing as multiple, or split, personality disorder, where a person’s identity is split into fragmented, distinct personality states. Because of this very popular false belief, people with schizophrenia are often misunderstood, socially isolated, called crazy, and are incorrectly portrayed in the media and in movies. By watching movies such as A Beautiful Mind, The Soloist, Benny & Joon, or The Snake Pit, a hazy representation of schizophrenics develops. In movies, schizophrenics are often painted to be violent, alcoholics, non-curable, and strapped to beds in a mental hospital with screaming voices driving them to be unrestrainable. Some movies though, portray schizophrenics positively, but still incorrectly. Because of movies like the first two listed, schizophrenics end up being absolute geniuses, such as ending up at Harvard despite the odds of having a mental disorder that debilitates the mind, sometimes to an extreme extent. These assumptions might be harmless, just viewing a group of people a certain way because of how movies portray them. But, many normal people living with the disorder feel shame, isolation...

...Psychological Disorders Writing Assignment The purpose of this project is to give you experience in making clinical diagnoses and to attempt to make sense of the many psychological disorders that are out there. You have been assigned to watch a popular movie. I decided to give this to you before Christmas Break because you will have at least 2 weeks to think of the movies form the list and watch one or two or whatever number you want. Pretend that you are a clinical psychologist, and the character in the movie has come in to your office. There is one central character in the movie that has symptoms of a psychological disorder (sometimes there may be more than one character; I have given you the character with the most obvious symptoms). In your paper, you should give a brief description of the character. Then, you should answer the following: o Identify the diagnosis that you would make of the character. • You should back up your diagnosis with the relevant symptoms displayed by the character (in other words, explain why did you make the diagnosis that you did). Refer to the movie to illustrate the symptoms that the character demonstrates. • Discuss all the possible symptoms of the disorder; does the client show all the possible symptoms, or only some of the possible symptoms of the disorder? • In some cases, the character may be lying, and does not really have a disorder. For example, the person may be faking the disorder to avoid prosecution...
