Schizophrenia So far, there is no medicine found for schizophrenia, but on some cases, schizophrenia can be treated in several ways. From some sources, it is known that the ways of healing schizophrenia is by doing biological therapies. Biological therapy is a treatment in which the use of antipsychotic medications, electroconvulsive therapy, and surgery of the brain Atkinson, et al., 1991. Then it also can be healed with psychotherapy, and humanistic therapy. In John Nash cases, at the end of the story in the movie script showed that John can recover from his illness, and he can live like a normal person. He even gets the Nobel Prize because of his invention. So, what the efforts in the treatment of mental disorder by John Nash? The answer can be found in the following discussion. John Nash is diagnosed with schizophrenia, when he is bringing his seminar on the Harvard. He is caught by a psychiatrist, Dr. Rosen and is taken to a mental hospital. John Nash realized that he suffered from schizophrenia, that the things that happens and he sees is a hallucination. There, he was given insulin shock and the medication. It is found in the movie script page 76-83: Rosen: “You still think I am a Russian spy?” Nash: “You still want to pretend you are not?” Rosen: “You are a rational man. Let me appeal to your rationality. Why do you think I did not see Charles and Marcee in my office?” The nurse places a plastic bit in his mouth. Lifts the hypo. Rosen: “What kind of hell would that be?” Alicia touches the divide as the nurse swabs John’s arm, looks to Rosen for the nod. She puts needle to flesh. Alicia turns away. INT.-TREATMENT ROOM See Nash as his body arches into the agony of insulin shock, eyes rolling up, screaming throught the bit as we pull back and up... over Nash’s growled scream. We continue up, higher and higher, Mclean dissapearing in the first falling storm of snow until the world is a wash of white. The next treatment process is the support from the surrounding environment. His wife, Alicia, is never tired to provide support to John. She remains faithful to accompany John and always assures John that he can recover from his illness. Although Alicia has already been expelled by John to go away, because John does not want Alicia get hurted by him. Alicia still chooses to live with John. It is found in the movie script page 102-103. Nash: “But whatever you do, I think Rosen’s right about one thing. You should not be here. I am not so safe anymore.” Alicia stands in the doorway. Staring at her husband. Alicia: “Would you have hurt me, John?” A figure races past behind her, like a ghost, startlingly fast, then gone. He looks up at his wife. Nash: “I do not know.” Nash has to look away. How else to blink back the water brimming in his eyes? When he looks up, she is gone. Hold on Nash as he lets his head fall into his hands, palms talking the weight of his defeat. Push in on this sigle figure. Alone. Aliciaover: “Rosen said to call if you try to kill me or anything.” Nash: “Alicia” Alicia: “Do not. I am scared and I need you to tell me everything’s okay and you are awful with words so just do not.” What he does, he reaches out and takes her in his arms, holding fast, holding on to her for dear life. The support from his friends who visits him to assure John that he will be cured and should be back works together. His friend also tries to tell to him, that this life is not just for working. But there are many other things they can do. It is found in the movie script page 86-87. Nash sits on the porch swing, staring at a pad of equations, pen in hand. Fox climbs the porch steps. Fox: “Hey, Chief.” Nash look up. He seems pale, drawn, as if part of him has gone missing, been replaced by shadow. Nash: “Finally, a little respect.” Fox: “Have you been to campus? Milnor’s running the math department.” Nash: “God, do not tell him what happened to me. He will have finally won.” Fox gives a sad smile. Fox: “I have missed you, John.....there are other things beside work.” John stares at him. Nash: “What are they?taps his temple This is who I was.” And the last treatment is the effort and intention of recovering from Johns own self. John finally realizes that the events that happen just his hallucinations. He tries to get healed, when the hallucinations starts talking to him, he thinks it is not real and he begins to disregard them. John begins to want to socialize with other people, such as starting to re-learn in the classroom with his friends. It is found in the movie script page 112-113. Nash: “You are the one who is not real.” He tears the clipping down. William looks him right in the eyes. Parcher: “You see us. We see you. Who is to say?” Still holding his gaze, Nash tears another clipping from the wall. Nash: “I am” A professor comes to the doorway, stops to stare at this odd man on his knee, kissing thin air. Nash rises, turns to the Professor. Nash: “I was wondering if I might audit your class.” Professor: “I am sorry, you have to be enrolled.” The young professor’s eye narrow. He seems suddenly flustered. Professor: “Oh, of course. Dr. Milnor mentioned. It is... it is an honor sir.” John is about to step over the threshold of the door. He stops. Professor: “Is something wrong?” Nash: “It is my first class.” When he met new people, he will ask the people who are already familiar with him, about whether the person is real or just imaginary. It is found in the movie script page 121. Manover: “Professor Nash?” A man is standing by the doorway. This is Howard Khun. Nash’s smile is polite., but vaguely puzzled. Turns to one of his students.
