From my perspective this movie helps one to consider the possibility that we as a society may not be managing mental health related concerns in the most effective manner but may actually be creating more problems in the long run by labelling people and over prescribing medications rather than dealing with what's at the heart of most, if not all, psychiatric conditions; trauma. Medications were never intended to be used as a long term solution but as an aid as one works on what brought on the symptoms to begin with. Lithium is not only addictive but can cause liver damage within 10 years of first starting on the medications, as is the case with most anti-psychotic and mood altering medications. So if there are other possible ways to resolve and heal from trauma that are not going to cause further damage to the body and result in addictions why not incorporate it into someone care plan as a first line of treatment?
