Summary
This penetrating documentary de-mystifies psychotic illnesses such as schizophrenia and manic depression, and humanizes those who suffer from them. It is essential viewing for mental health professionals and students who need to understand mental illness, as well as for general audiences. In this half-hour program, we hear about psychosis from three people who describe it from the inside out. * Eileen, a once promising actress, now lives in a half-way house. She has a severe form of schizophrenia and must live in a sheltered atmosphere. * Lionel, a former NFL football star who played with the Green Bay Packers, had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. For a time his illness forced him to live on the streets. * Joe, troubled since adolescence with delusions and hallucinations, is diagnosed as manic/ depressive. He and his wife describe their struggles with sickness and recovery. Each of these individuals presents an engrossing tale of despair and hope and teaches us about the fragile boundary between insanity and sanity. Psychiatrist/producer Kenneth Paul Rosenberg, M.D., undertook a nation-wide search for the three individuals profiled. He was assisted in the project by the American Psychiatric Association (NY Branch), the Foundation for Education in Psychiatry, and patient advocate groups.
