Being/acting bat *beep* crazy isn't a mental illness......


I liked the movie, enjoyed the actors and the storyline was quite interesting. It has nothing to do with mental illness though as any psychiatric patient can tell you. That s not a bad thing, but it does help to see this movie completely as a fictional story and fictional portrayals of mentall illnesses.

I don't know about the book, but though the actors were acting great they just portrayed some crazy people. Which has little to do with psychiatric patients. I ve never actually seen a movie in which psychiatry is spot on.

It probably will never happen either, cause it just wouldn't make for an interesting movie and not a lot of people would rave about it s brilliancy when they leave the theater saddened and questioning their life.

Uhhh crazy people ARE psychiatric patients/people. Bi-Polar Disorder is a debilitating disorder
