The only thing the movie did was to show that schizophrenia is not multiple personality disorder and that schizophrenia is "real."
There is at least a twenty year span of Nash's life where the movie represents the love of his wife, the avoidance of drugs, and counciling was all he needed to do. The never updates the 1950's view of psychology and only mentions in a single sentence at the end that "newer drugs" actually made it possible for Nash to have a coherent life.
There should be several people who read slashdot that should have knowlege of schizophrenia. What do you think?
