19. What did you think? What did you feel?
Thoughts
Interesting that he had visions
Didn’t think that you could be
that exhausted over
depression
Thought it was good that he
could share what he felt
Did a good job addressing the
stigma with taking medication
He seemed himself when he
was around and playing music
Appreciated how they touched
on hospitalization and it being
one aspect of his journey
He got so worked up that he
collapsed
Mental illness came out of
nowhere
Feelings
Felt great (medication is not a
bad thing)
Felt bad for him and how his
mother was describing his
experiences
Happy
Hopeful
Music brought him to a happier
place
Felt grateful that it
characterized the whole
person
#Movies4MentalHealth
20. Why don’t people get help?
Scared
Unsecure/Insecure
Don’t recognize the problem
Don’t want the label
Don’t know where to go
Financial barriers
Think they can handle it on their own
Self-medicating
Barriers to care (e.g. transportation)
Shame, stigma, scared
Judgment
#Movies4MentalHealth
22. What did you think? What did you feel?
Thoughts
Parents may have played a
huge role in what happened to
her, “who was taking care of
her?”
End was very emotional
Sadder than both of the others
A lot to be said about the
powers of reflection
Experiences were
acknowledged and acceptable
which was a huge step in their
wellness
Feelings
Relatable
Empowering
Hopeful
#Movies4MentalHealth
23. What can we do?
Embrace everyone
Help break down the stigma walls
Remember to recognize what people are
dealing with
Eliminating assumptions
Self-care
