Nash begins to experiences delusions of grandeur and of persecution and hallucinations as his rational thought diminishes.
Nash is involuntarily put under the care of psychiatrist Dr. Rosen, who diagnoses Nash with
paranoid schizophrenia. The history of treatment of schizophrenia is evidenced in the movie as
Nash undergoes insulin coma therapy, electroshock therapy and with antipsychotic
pharmaceutical drug therapy. The trials and tribulations associated with a diagnosis and
treatment of schizophrenia are shown in Nash‟s attempt to regain control of his life. Nash
demonstrates the aversive side effects of antipsychotic medication, and the main issue with
patients of such treatment: compliance. While the symptoms of schizophrenia that Nash
experience do not disappear, he is able to consciously address them. Nash is able to regain his
mind and return to his passion for mathematics and teaching at Princeton University. In 1994,
Nash was awarded the Nobel Prize in economics for his game theory.
The film A Beautiful Mind shows the range of symptoms and complications of the mental
disorder schizophrenia, but also the hope for recovery and return to society through proper
treatment. The film presents the typical symptoms of schizophrenia and presents a timeline of the
various treatment methods. A Beautiful Mind adequately depicts the struggle of doctors in their
quest to find a cure or at least to find a treatment that adequately addresses the associated
symptoms. While there is presently no cure for schizophrenia, there are various antipsychotic
pharmaceutical drugs that address the various symptoms associated with schizophrenia. These
antipsychotic drug treatments are based on the biological paradigm which claims mental
disorders and its associated abnormal behaviour are derived from disturbances in the body‟s
biological process (Davidson, G., Blankstein, K., Flett, G. & Neale, J., 2008).
