Module 03 Discussion – Schizophrenia and Psychoses in Media
Directions:
In your initial post, address the following:
- Describe an example of a portrayal of schizophrenia or psychosis in the mainstream media (in books, movies, and TV shows).
- In your opinion, can these depictions of psychotic functioning enhance one’s understanding of psychosis? Or can they sometimes be misleading and interfere with one’s ability to truly understand and sympathize with these types of disorders?
