  I'm convinced, these people spoke slower and were far more precise with their thoughts than people today. These people were able to have a coherent and intelligent conversation (which is becoming a lost art) in favor of diarrhea of the mouth.

  I am blown away at how understanding all of these people are about mental illness especially so long ago.  Feels like we haven’t come very far at all

  It seems we’ve gone backwards since this film was made. My son has had paranoid schizophrenia since his late teens in 2009. Here in PA there’s nowhere to hospitalize him, so he either goes in for the 72 hr. observation or he’s jailed for acting bizarre. He vanished from the halfway house where he was living on 11-18-19 and police won’t consider him missing, even though he can’t take care of himself. I have no idea where he is, and no one has seen him. This is harder than when another one of our sons died from a heart attack while attending grad school at Georgetown. This video saddened me because my son, an editor, musician, and award-winning potter lost everything.

  My beautiful son suffered from paranoid schizophrenia. He  came to me at 19 and said he needed help. I did not know I thought it was depression. He wouldn't tell me he was hearing voices. These voices were violent and demeaning. Medications he said would quiet the voices. These voices still tormented my son. He referred to these voice as they. They made fun of everything he loved to do. They wanted him to so terrible things. He would never tell me when I politly would ask. Couldn't do things without feeling paranoid. I would drop to my knees and beg God to help my son. He had huge dreams and so intelligent. I am forever destroyed over losing my son. He was 20. Terrible disease still no cure.

  A Doctor actually listening to someone is wonderful to watch, it isn’t like this these days sadly enough

  Mothers used to be blamed for anything that went wrong with their children.  Such an awful shaming event for the mother.

  It seems like a lot of these people were ahead of their time as far as their attitude towards mental illness! The doctor actually seems caring and kind. It is the same as a physical illness

  I admire the respectful way the doctor is addressing this unfortunate man. Never patronizing or condescending.
