This article will describe John Nash’s development and causes of schizophrenia. Besides, both the movie A Beautiful Mind and the study Cognitive therapy for people with a schizophrenia spectrum diagnosis not taking antipsychotic medication: An exploratory trial published in 2011 by Morrison et al. found that Cognitive Therapy (CT) could help treat schizophrenia without the usage of antipsychotic medications. This movie attempted to portray psychology and schizophrenia in a positive manner. Nonetheless, the movie could be misleading.
In the movie, Dr. Rosen diagnosed John with paranoid schizophrenia. Today, a psychiatrist would diagnose John with schizophrenia (with the paranoid as a subtype) under the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental …show more content…
Morrison et al. (2011) made sure that they all had a history of at least six months of refusal to take the medication. Most of Morrison et al. (2011) participants showed a significant positive response to the CT sessions. Morrison et al. (2011) noted that some individuals began or restarted taking antipsychotic medication during the study or between the follow up session. Those individuals showed a greater adherence to the medication (Morrison et al., 2011, p. 1054). Additionally, Morrison et al. (2011) indicated that there was a significant decrease in both positive and negative symptoms in those who were suffering from schizophrenia. Individuals with auditory type schizophrenia showed the greatest improvement (Morrison et al., 2011, p. 1050). Morrison et al. (2011) concluded that those treated with CT alone showed a significant positive change in their prognosis. There was compelling evidence that there was an excessive reduction in the presenting clinical symptoms. There were notable reductions in frequency of delusional episodes or hallucination (Morrison et al., 2011, p. 1054). Morrison et al. (2011) noticed there was an extraordinary increase in the self-perceived improvement of functioning and QOL when the study …show more content…
The movie attempted to describe schizophrenia and the treatment in a positive and semi-accurate manner. This movie showed the importance of having social support and various treatment options. Additionally, the movie proved that schizophrenia can affect any individual. Schizophrenia is not indicative of a person's educational level; it can affect every individual. Still, the destructive impact of this movie was significant. The movie implied that “schizophrenics “can get better from sheer determination and social support. The movie implied that psychiatrists only desire to push drugs to individuals that don’t want them. It also suggested psychiatrists only focused on the biological side of the psychopathology. The movie implied that psychiatrists refuse to acknowledge the cognitive thoughts and beliefs that are present in this mental disorder. This movie may have given false implications to those who are under-informed about problems that those with schizophrenia face. It also may have disregarded any current forms of
