Mainly you’re going to discuss a character’s mental illness from the movie. You can start by giving me the plot of the movie and then in a nutshell and then you’re going to narrow down to the character in question who has the mental illness that you’re going to explore.
Once you introduce the character and then you say suppose, John has a schizophrenia
that’s going to be your bridge to discuss the mental illness itself, which Could work for the purpose of the assignment as a as a brief recap of whichever mental illness you are more interested in. Then you talk about it and I want you to discuss the symptomatology of the disorder if you can, you can also discuss the brain structure that are affected by that specific pathology. You can also talk about prevalence and you
are going to close the paper discussing potential treatments for the disordering questions (for the mental illness questions).
You are more than welcome to use some references from the book (Deborah C. Beidel, Cynthia M. Bulik, Melinda A. Stanley – Abnormal psychology) which is very comprehensive. You can also use the sources such as scientific Publications on PubMed and but the main point is that you can ask me, “Professor what does the movie have to do with it? Are we going to just introduce a movie and then we’ll talk schizophrenia?” The answer is–No! That’s why so the purpose of the course the one of the goals of the course was that you would be familiar and expose the way it’s a different types of mental illnesses and you would have a basic idea how to identify certain symptoms in certain disorders, correct? I want you to use the movie as an evidence that you were able to identify and pick up the symptoms on the character and you’re going to be linking that to the theory that you are going to be discussing.
Mainly, you are going to be using the movie at the character who presents the mental illness as an Evidence to corroborate to the theory and the mental illness that you’re going to be discussing. So once you introduced the disorder and the Psychopathology and your presenting the symptoms or what people do when they are depressed or they cry a lot. So if you’re exploring a movie where the main character has depression means depression or even leads to suicide.
