The film is based on the autobiographical novel of Suzanne Kaysen. The translation is really beautiful. To put it bluntly, it is a "female lunatic". It is about a lunatic asylum, and the lunatics in it are all women. The protagonist suffers from what is called "borderline delirium". The specific problem is that she will have an illusion and feel that her hand has no bones (the doctor asked: If your hand has no bones, how did you pick up the aspirin? Suzanne replied: At that time, there were bones). Of course, Susannah's problem was not so simple. She thought she had a headache, but "tried suicide", drinking a bottle of vodka and taking a bottle of sleeping pills. So doctors decided to send her to a mental hospital for treatment. After being sent to Claymore Mental Hospital, the doctors there treated her again, and it should be said that the specific root of the disease was also clarified. The doctor asked her: You're brilliant, you're Springbrook's only senior...and didn't go on to college. Susannah said: I plan to do writing. The doctor asked again: But how did you plan it? Susannah said, "Listen, I'm not going to burn a bra if I'm fine... take some medicine, or go to the Washington parade or something, I just don't want to die like my mother did. Doctor: Women today have more choices than ever before. Susannah: No, they didn't. Obviously, Susannah's illness stems from her intelligence. She wants to have a different destiny and control her own life, but she sees all kinds of constraints on real women. She is still young and has the opportunity to avoid various social constraints and family responsibilities for the time being, so at this turning point, she is even more anxious about the future. In the medical records (which Susannah and the others peeked at the doctor's office in the middle of the night), she was judged like this: Borderline Personality Disorder. Weak self-image and interpersonal relationships, emotional instability, undetermined goals...impulsive willfulness, self-harm, such as sloppy sexual intercourse. Usually opposed to the social status quo, pessimistic and misanthropic. Susannah also expressed a high degree of agreement with everything. After reading it, she said clearly: I like it, that's what I am. However, in the mental hospital, she quickly grew tired of the tedious treatment: taking medicine, a strict life order, and talking to a doctor. She soon joined other girls in the hospital to try "where there is authoritarian oppression, there is democratic revolution", like a rat at night, hiding drugs and not eating, getting up in the middle of the night wandering, and even throwing parties.
Such a film can actually help us understand mental illness and treatment.
The paradox of the mentally ill
There is a joke expression: if a normal person is sent to a mental hospital, and you tell the doctor that you are normal, will the doctor listen to you? Will not. Then you tell the doctor that you are sick, and the doctor will not let you go. If you fight desperately and try to escape, then it may be more serious, because it is "aggressive", it is a dangerous mental illness, and it is more difficult to let it out. Therefore, the real solution is to cooperate well with the treatment, and hope that one day the doctor will judge by himself that you have recovered.
As Susannah expressed her high approval of the medical records, the girl next to her said: Everyone is like this (this everyone obviously refers to this group of crazy women). What is this like? To put it bluntly, after all, everyone is constantly adapting to society. It is easy for young people to fall into a kind of "dilemma" about themselves, society and problems. It is impossible to express recognition or understanding of the social reality that the vast majority of people agree with. Therefore, there will be various exits for "problems", and these exits become "diseases". Modern psychiatric treatment cannot be said to be mature enough to treat a cold, but it also has its own system and method. For example, through drugs, those extreme diseases can be controlled and the body can be brought into a comfortable state, such as the diazepam before bed, and the daily light laxative. Because patients are generally more confined, lack of exercise, and are disturbed by some problems, they cannot find a way out. If the physical condition is not good, it is easy to enter a negative spiral state, and it is difficult to change the situation. In addition to drugs, through the communication between doctors and patients, and repairing and rebuilding normal thinking and coping mechanisms, you can gradually change your view of the problem and gradually return to the right track.
However, the real problem is the mentally ill, like the girls in the film, in fact, the overall consciousness is still normal, so they will think that their illness is a small problem, and it doesn't matter at all. So refuse to take medicine, refuse to communicate with the doctor. I even used my collective wisdom to unite against the treatment and management of a few doctors and nurses (it felt a bit like a student dealing with a teacher), but of course there was no way, so 1 year and 2 years...stayed in the hospital; and the longer I stayed, On the one hand, the disease will be more stubborn, and on the other hand, the method of confrontation will be more intense. Like Lisa, played by Angelina Jolie in the film, Susannah started out as a revolutionary hero (she was lawless, doctors and nurses couldn't do anything about her), but in the end she realized that she was an incurable patient (she Selfish, cold-blooded is terrible).
Second, heart disease needs heart medicine
A patient who refuses to receive treatment is like a student who is tired of studying. To solve the problem, it is more difficult than reaching the sky. Because, if you don't take medicine, don't talk about your heart, how can you get rid of heart disease.
It's all about luck. Fortunately, Susannah had an opportunity. Susannah finally escapes the madhouse with Lisa. After they came out, they went to find Daisy who was "recovered and discharged". I could have been taken in by Daisy, so I should be grateful to Dade. But Lisa, out of "jealousy", even sneered at Daisy, pointing to the scar left by Daisy's self-abuse, and said: Why don't you look at your own arm, bastard... But you are already a so-called "recovery", But here to play Betty Cook and cut herself like a ham...they didn't let you go because you got better, Daisy, they just gave up. You call this a freshman? Spending Dad's money to buy dolls, trinkets... Eating his chickens and fattening yourself up like a cow? You are just changing the soup but not the medicine, and the lunatic asylum still wants to visit you.
Under Lisa's attack, Daisy chose to commit suicide. And the next day, seeing Daisy dead, Lisa ran away with Daisy's money, and boasted: I didn't kill her, that's why she kept waiting for suicide.
Stimulated by this incident, Susannah saw the problem, just like a student who was brought down, seeing the true face of her best friend. Although she knows that Lisa is not bad in nature, she does have a mental problem. Similarly, she reflects on her responsibilities and finds that she is also a problem. Susannah herself returned to the mental hospital and had such a conversation with the nurse.
Susannah: I didn't stop her (referring to Lisa), everyone should do something to shut her up or go upstairs and talk to Daisy.
Nurse: If you got there in time, what would you tell her?
Susannah: I don't know, I'm sorry, I'll never know how she felt at the time, but I know what it's like to be suicidal, and it's too hard to smile. He tried to reconcile his mind, but he couldn't, so he hurt his body in the hope of destroying the pain in his heart.
Nurse: Susannah, it's great that you can tell me this, but you have to tell the doctor how you feel.
Susannah: I don't even know what's wrong with me, how can I recover?
Nurse: But you do understand, what you just said was very clear, I think you should let it go, let it go, just write it down in your diary, release it from your heart, let it go, and stop tangling with it . Lisa thinks it's a gift...a gift that makes you see the truth, Lisa's been here for eight years.
As a result, Susannah became a model patient, taking her medicine on time, communicating with doctors, keeping a diary, releasing her problems, and quickly getting back on track.
Susannah turned her experience into a work that turned into this film.
As the film said at the end: Crazy does not mean collapse, or carrying an unknown secret, but you and I have enlarged our emotions. If you've ever lied and enjoyed it, if you've ever wished to be a child forever, they're not perfect...but they're my friends. By the 1970s... most of them had been discharged from the hospital and lived like ordinary people. Some of them were with me, while others were never seen again. But they will always be in my heart.
Psychopaths are all about the wrong emotions, and they happen to everyone. If we can't control it, we must face it positively and receive treatment. Think about it, John Nash can use reason to understand his own problems, even if there are still a few non-existent people around him, but it cannot affect his great life. 17.8.30 Body; m( 0%OsL
