reflecting what we learned in class

In the movie "a beautiful mind" it has the character named John Nash who was diagnosed with schizophrenia. His symptoms began when he started graduate school at Princeton University. He believed that he was working with the government. He believed that his job would be to "unlock "codes for the government to detect bombs. Once his wife and him discover that these were Hallucination they started with treatment. In class we learned about abnormal disorders Schizophrenia is a disorder in the brain which causes hallucination and people can't tell the difference on what is real and what isn't. We learned the symptoms to this disorder and how it affects people, and what they can do to prevent the hallucinations. In class we learned about types of therapies to treat disorders like schizophrenia. They used electroshock therapy to treat his disorder. Then they used medication to keep the Hallucinations away. Both electroshock and medication are a type of therapy if they make symptoms go away. in class we learned that people would try to stop taking their medication because they believed they were treated. In the movie John Nash had schizophrenia and he would see hallucinations. the doctors treated his symptoms with types of therapy. In class we learned about types of therapy and symptoms that would occur with schizophrenia.
