Movies And The Mental Health Industry

Chaos Hour Writes : I have always had a strange attraction towards films set in mental institutions or concerning those with mental diseases. Maybe it is the exploration of the psyche; the fact that everyone is a little bit unhinged and all a mental disorder is, is the amplification of neuroses… Maybe it’s the fact that there is something terrifying about losing control of your senses and being unable to discern between reality and the fiction created by trauma or misplaced hormones… Or, maybe it is because I spent a good portion of my childhood in therapy due to suffering from Uni-Polar Anhedonic Depression.
