We watched a movie the other night called "It's Really a Funny Story", about a teenager who goes into a psychiatric hospital after telling someone he was thinking of committing suicide. What I loved about this movie was how real everyone was in the psych unit. They talked about their very serious problems like it was normal to have problems. It was like... "So you're suicidal? Nice to meet you. I'm so-and-so and I cut myself. This is so-and-so and he is schizophrenic." No hiding problems, no feeling huge burdens of shame... they all just realized and completely accepted that everyone has problems.
If only real life was like the psychiatric ward.... right?
