Movie Reviews of ABC News 20/20 Schizophrenia
Movie Review: Roberta
Summary: 4 Stars
My son has mental illness and the National Alliance of Mental Illness
recommended this 16 minute segment from a 20/20 television show as a good way to try and understand how the mind of a mentally ill person perceives things.
A group of scientists at Yale University developed a visual reality device that one puts on their head to see and hear as if you have schizophrenia. It is an intense video showing a very extreme case of delusional processing. There are schizophrenic persons explaining their form of this illness.
This CD is informative and worth viewing. It, in itself, is not enough of an education if one is seeking answers about this terrible disease. It does, however, add a greater clarity to what it does to a person.
Summary of ABC News 20/20 Schizophrenia
It's all in their minds: visions, voices, taunting, never ending, driving them crazy or worse. It's hard to imagine, but now, an amazing device lets you feel their pain. The technology lets you go inside the mind of a schizophrenic. See what they see. Hear what they hear. Using the technique of virtual reality, Janssen Pharmaceuticals has developed a device to stimulate the visual and auditory hallucinations of a schizophrenic patient. Dr. Timothy Johnson explores the world of people struggling with the voices within. This "20/20" show contains the following additional stories: Victim's Comp WindsheildsSpecial Interests DVD Video
