The Best Movies Portraying Mental Illness
31 titles |
Public
The media's infamous for its misrepresentation and stigmatization of mental illness. I don't think this is a fair assumption. Society has always condemned the mentally ill, casting them out or accusing them of supernatural possession and the like. This was long before the film industry came into play. We, as humans, instinctually ostracise those who are different. Here I present to you a list of films that attempt to counter this mainstream ignorance, improving the portrayal of the mentally ill; or, in some cases, exploring the darker features of some of these disorders. Whoever you are, I highly recommend you check them out :)
I've also included Psychological thrillers to the mix. All in all this is a personal list I've created, and will continue to add to, as I begin my way through Psychiatry residency training.
