Hi all.
I am a regular poster, but I have had a recent name change due to a near outing incident.
I am a medical student and I am doing a special project on cinema and psychiatry. I need to write an essay and was thinking of basing it on how women with mental health problems are portrayed by hollywood films and/or whether the violence in psychiatric illness in films (perpetrated by men or women) is an accurate representation of real life (but I may post in mental health to get more input on this).
If anyone has any films they could recommend and their comments it would be great food for thought to get me started. Obviously I won't pinch any of your ideas directly, as everything I write about will have to be backed up by references anyway!
And as an aside I think this a really interesting topic for discussion anyway, whether I was writing an essay or not...
Any thoughts?
