so love cures..........
mental illness?
sharePeople with mental illness are often very isolated. Shunned, even. It's not a cure, but it sure does help if you have the support of your family, friends, employers, and communities.
Both the leads are taking a pro-active stance in battling their problems. And just because you have these afflictions, doesnt mean you dont long for and feel love like everyone else. Doesnt love help everybody ? Isn't it better to have someone holding your hand as you navigate through it?
We only see a snapshot at the end. It doesn't mean they are cured. They will have their ups and downs like all people do. But they've got a better than most chance of making it because they've got so much support and love in their lives.
I am all for love and support. But Pat stopped taking his medications cold turkey. I am not sure that is the right message.
sharePat went back on his medications the morning after the wedding video episode.
shareI think the movie would have been better if we knew more about Pat before he found out his wife was fooling around. He was in an institution and was on a strong anti-psychotic (Seroquel). He must have a history of mental issues before the shower incident. I thought the movie was a little simplistic.
