Assignment: After watching the movie, identify and analyze the portrayal of the featured mental illness in a “simple” analysis paper. The must be completed in APA format and needs to include 2 Scholarly References. 
Note:
You are NOT creating a summary or “review” of the movie.
You are analyzing the characters’ portrayal, and the movie’s depiction of the “mental illness”.
To make the disorder become more relevant, you will address three components of the film:
Accuracy of the portrayal of mental illness: How is the character shown to be mentally ill? Does the film say what the condition is? What are the “typical” symptoms and how are they displayed? How is the condition diagnosed? What are the diagnostic criteria for the illness depicted in the movie? Does this character meet that criterion? Be specific, how is the illness communicated to viewers and to other actors in the film? In what ways does the movie accurately represent the disorder or misrepresent it? Explain using an example from the movie.
Treatment recommendations: How is the illness “treated” in the movie you chose? What other treatments are available? (Especially if this movie is older, are there new therapies?) What might be a possible treatment plan for this character?
Pick ONE of the three following points to address, choose one that applies to your film:
Professional ethics: How are the doctors and therapists depicted? What are their interactions with the ill character? How are these professionals helping or hurting the situation? What is the purpose of depicting mental health care professionals in this light?
Perpetuation of stigma: What are the false statements or depictions of mental illness in the film? Are there accurate depictions? How do you know? Why are aspects of illness so misrepresented?
Attitude change: How did characters in the film change over time in their attitudes towards mental illness? How did this film change your attitude about the depicted illness?
Analysis Paper, Template: (Double space, proofread for spelling & grammar!)
Paragraph 1: Introduction to the movie and the depiction of mental illness in the movie (your main sentence within this paragraph will indicate what your three points are going to be.)
Paragraph 2: Accuracy analysis of the movie: How is the character shown to be mentally ill? How is the illness communicated to viewers and to other actors in the film?
What diagnosis criteria did the character meet, or not meet?
Paragraph 3: – Treatment analysis and recommendation: How is the illness “treated” in the movie? What treatments are available? (Especially if this movie is older, are there new therapies?) Discuss possible treatments appropriate for this character, not specific medications or anything, but long-term goals.
Paragraph 4: Pick your third topic from one of the three listed under #3 above (Professional ethics, Perpetuation of the stigma, or Attitude change) and answer the questions listed under that heading. No need to provide a summary paragraph, but it is a good rule of thumb to go back to your main sentence in the first paragraph and make sure you hit all the points that you said you would address.
