You know I appreciate that you looked into schizophrenia at the end of the video. As a film obviously they went with visual hallucinations instead of auditory because film is a visual medium (it's not a radio show). Any changes in the facts were for dramatic effect, which is very common in 'true stories', to make the experience more interesting for the viewer.
Excellent reaction, this movie does leave out and change alot of Nash's life, but does a fantastic job of telling his story. It is one of my favorite movies. Very glad to see you research Nash and the disorder after watching. Good job!
Important to know, not a true story. Nash has said the movie has no root in reality. He never had any visual hallucinations. They divorced decades before. He never took any medications. They gave him insulin induced seizures, which in fact CAUSED many of his issues. He was only let out because he acted compliant. Good movie. Complete butchering of his life.
Yes, I found out he had auditory (not visual) hallucinations. I see. So they divorced, then later on continued to live together. Honestly, insulin shock therapy was never a good idea...
Mental illnesses, particularly schizophrenia, are not curable. They can be ameliorated by modern medication but the side effects can muddle up the patients mind and take away their motivation and mental acuity. Certainly some universal side-effects are weight gain and lethargy. Of course nowadays you cannot treat unless a patient agrees to treatment. There's another universal aspect of mental illness, the patient never believes they are sick. Makes it hard to get them to cooperate. One thing that seems to help a lot is exercise. Imagine that! What you were watching was not a merely a seizure, it was electro-shock therapy. I'm not sure if it's still in practice today.
These medication have undesirable side effects which affects one's lifestyle and relationships. I'm not surprised that John stopped the medication. "...nowadays you cannot treat unless a patient agrees to treatment." That's fair, but if the patient is a danger to himself or others, then an exception should be made. Exercise helps a lot, regardless if a person has mental illness or not 🏃 I see... electro-shock therapy does not look comfortable. I believe it's still in practice, also known as Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) nowadays.
@@henryellowECT is very comfortable and is in use to this day, and does help a lot for many. However, in reality, this never happened. The movie has almost no relevance to reality.

Well, it's good to know we've made improvements in that regard, at least.
