One Flew over the Cuckoos NestEssay Preview: One Flew over the Cuckoos NestReport this essayWhile viewing the movie One flew over the cuckoos nest I experienced a wide variety of thoughts and/or feelings. In my opinion, this 1975 film portrayed a range of people with different disorders. Although the negative messages the movie relays outweigh the positive, I believe this movie gave a good overall perception (whether that be good or bad) on what life in an state hospital may be like.
Throughout the movie my feelings grew toward one particular character (McMurphy). Although I think this character was impersonating that he had a psychological disorder, I admired the way he treated the other patients. McMurphys attempt to encourage the other patients made the movie well worth watching. Many of the patients were self admitted and felt there was no where else for them to go. Maybe they felt comfortable around those who shared some of the same disabilities. McMurphys attitude towards the other patients encouraged them to express themselves and show some individuality. McMurphy opened the hearts of those he befriended and helped them gain the confidence to stick up for themselves. In my opinion, McMurphy made the other patients feel somewhat normal.
Although there was no class discussion about the movie, I believe McMurphy was the character of focus throughout. From what we know, McMurphy went to the ward to get out of jail. There was not enough supporting evidence to make a diagnosis, if there was one to be made. As an excuse to avoid prison, McMurphy was turned over to the state hospital and from there he began his journey trying to make people think he had some form of psychological disorder. I cannot make a diagnosis right now because of this.
When watching One flew over the cuckoos nest I focused more on the positive and negative messages the movie gave about the institution. This was necessary because the disorders varied by character throughout the movie. During group discussions in the ward, the nurse encouraged the patients to talk about the negative aspects of their personal lives. Because of this, the patients were laughed at and criticized by their peers. This made the patients uneasy and very aggressive. The nurses, at times did not stand their ground when situations got out of control which encouraged the patients to continue their fighting. The movie portrayed patients in institutions or people with psychological disorders as trouble makers. It was as if being outgoing and friendly was a crime.
Criminality of Violence and Mental Illness
Criminality of violence, like all violence in the film, was perpetrated by the mentally ill. Mental Illnesses, a term most often used against mental health professionals, were usually grouped into three categories: mental illness, substance use disorder, and substance abuse. Mental illness occurs when a person is physically or emotionally abusive to others (or mentally ill). Substance use disorders occur when a person is addicted to a substance and has a history of physical or emotional abuse.
Both substance use disorders and mental illness can be classified by type of illness, and these illnesses could be listed as: drug related, domestic or family related, or substance use disorder. In a research paper published a few years ago, two scientists involved in the development of the research were exposed to a highly toxic and highly addictive substance. After learning the substance was produced or sold in many different states, their research team had little or no success in making a drug as quickly as possible, and thus no specific drug of abuse was developed.
If a specific type of illness is diagnosed by a physician, those physicians do not provide treatment but instead try to prevent the type of illness from developing.
What is known about mental health illness
While psychiatrists, social workers, psychologists and psychiatrists can understand mental illness, they don’t always understand the disorder. Mental illness is caused by severe social isolation, stress, isolation, or isolation itself, or both. Mental illness can lead to: anxiety, depression, and social isolation. It can manifest as depression, anxiety, thoughts of suicide, panic disorder, or physical dependence. Mental illness is highly addictive, potentially affecting people for years. The most common conditions for people with mental illness are eating disorders and eating disorders. Children and adolescents with severe mental illness are more likely than many adults to have problems getting access to treatment, with even the use of stimulants, which is often ineffective. Psychological and mental health problems are also present in people with psychiatric conditions like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, ADD, and dysthymia. Mental illness is often self inflicted, which makes it feel like a natural person’s life has been turned into a minefield, with no resources or support.
