We watched the movie a beautiful mind in class which was about a genius of a guy named John Nash, he was extremely good at math and became a professor at Princeton University,  he also was working for the government to stop the Russians from invading.  In class we've learned about schizophrenia and other different psychological disorders. It is where people become very paranoid and have delusions. In the movie the main character was suffering from schizophrenia, he had delusions about his job, he believed he was working for the government to help them stop the Russians, he believed the Russians were coming after him and thought he had a roommate when he never really did and he believed that his “roommate” had a niece. Another thing we learned about was how to treat these kinds of disorders and disorders like schizophrenia used to be with electric shocks which is supposed to shake up something in the brain to make people stop seeing things.  In the movie when John got admitted into the mental hospital they did this to him, they made him do that 4 times a week until they thought he was good enough to just be taking medication. We learned about depth-of-processing effect which is when you give meaning to words/things in order to help you remember them, and when they did experiments with them they found that patients with schizophrenia were also able to use this technique to help them. John was really good at math and it is possible he used this to help him remember everything he knew.
