Document Summary
Movie triggered psychosis at age 12: everything from past (e. g. , sexual abuse) came up. Feeling like an outsider and not fitting in (not due to any known factor) I know you feel this way but you need to be grounded in something . Lost younger brother at age 21 to suicide. Spiritual means (not just religion but big questions like why am i here?") Give structure to those having trouble: check in with each other, grounding exercises, 5 senses, music, monitor self-talk, developing personal story. See not just the symptoms but the whole picture. By doctor: with-holding medication to help, hidden meaning and actually with-holding for best interest. Not totally convinces of having a diagnosis. Considers that his soul is not at ease: plato connection, soul ------- biological effects (not other way around) There is no one answer for compromised mental health". How do you appeal to the lack of mental health programs/funding: appeal to therapeutic norms.
