A Beautiful Mind
Formulation of the Character’s Disorder – A Beautiful Mind
Case Conceptualisation
A beautiful mind (Grazer, 2001) is an American biographical drama movie, which reflects the life experience of the American mathematician Dr John Nash, who struggled with schizophrenia.
Predisposition
Early in ‘A beautiful mind,’ Nash exhibited signs of aloofness, diminished emotional expression, social interpersonal dysfunction, and affective flattening (scene.time.1.43-to-2.21; sence.time.2.34-to-3.54); which are signs of autism. This reflects the genetic background of Nash’s SZ, given that autism and SZ were found to share some genetic basis (Rapoport et al., 2009), Whereas, psychologically, Nash was predisposed (e.g., by his first-grade teacher) to hold …show more content…
That is, Nash exhibited Delusions of Grandeur (scene.time.2.53-to-4.33; scene.time.10.51-to-11.14; scene.time.8.27-to-8.53), visual Hallucinations (scene.time.5.20-to-8.55; scene.time.11.28-to-12-43), and diminished emotional expression (DEE) (scene.time.3.19-to-4.00). These symptoms presented significantly for at least a period of 1-month. Also, some major areas of functions were affected, which included: academic attainment (scene.time.15.07-to-15.27) and interpersonal relations (scene.time.14.10-to-14.50). Disturbance persisted for at least 6 months. Additionally, Nash exhibited cognitive bias (scene.time.10.50-11.08), social perception deficits (scene.time.3.49-to-3.53), social withdrawal (scene.time.11.28-to-11.31), bizarre behaviour such writing on windows (scene.time.11.28-to-11-48), and Self-harm and aggression (scene.time.17.24-to-18-05). Later, symptoms enhanced and Nash showed recovery, perhaps, for five years (scene.time.23.54-to-24.56). Then, Nash experienced relapse, where all previous symptoms reoccurred in addition to: Delusions of Persecution (scene.time.55.23-to-56.42), Hallucinations (i.e., William, Charles, and Marci; and auditory (scene.time.1.40.40-to-1.40.48)), catatonic behaviour (scene.time.1.18.14-to-1.18.38), avolition (scene.time.1.24.40-to-1.24.50), dysfunction in previous major areas alongside occupational functioning (scene.time.1.25.25-to-1.25.45), self-care (scene.time.1.30.02-to-1.30.15), aggression (scene.time.1.37.20-to-1.37-26), and self-harm (scene.time.1.17.33-to-1.17.50). SZ symptomatology persisted for more than 6-months. Nash then went through a remission state where only hallucinations were presented, however Nash’s cognition and social perception showed significant enhancement.
