“Me, Myself, and Irene”
Summary:
This movie was about a man who developed schizophrenia; also know as multiple personality disorder. The main character was a shy, polite man who never seemed to be offended by anyone and never stood up for himself. He held in all his feelings until he developed another personality. This personality was the opposite of his original one. While under this mindset he would offend others and made sure no one messed with him in any way.
Relationship with Psychology:
I chose this movie due to its content and display of a disorder that most people never really notice in their day-to-day lives. Schizophrenia, according to the book, means “out of one’s mind before one’s time.” After the man finds out what caused him to develop this disorder, he finds away to cope with his feelings by speaking his mind and not caring what other s thought about him. After loosing a wife like this man did and finding out that the children that she had wasn’t yours I can see how something like this would change a persons life.

Chapter 14, Schizophrenia
I love Jim Carey, he is so funny. I did watch this movie also. It is something how so many people could very well have some degree of schizophrenia and never even realize it. I have always wondered, you know how people have different ways of acting when they are around different kinds of people, if this were a sign of schizophrenia. For example; when you are at home with your family, you are fun, loud, you talk alot, but when out in public you are quite, you do not talk to a lot of people. Or could this just the way of society. Anyway, this was a great article, thanks, Lisa Crowell
