Answer 1

Ans) Mathematician John Nash, who died May 23 in a car accident, was known for his decades-long battle with schizophrenia—a struggle famously depicted in the 2001 Oscar-winning film "A Beautiful Mind." Nash had apparently recovered from the disease later in life, which he said was done without medication.

Lack of Insight.

- This problem is compounded by the second flaw, that the imagined characters start off serving benign or even helpful functions for Nash at the start of the film, and only later do they start making his life more difficult. They help to reduce his isolation and console him in his social awkwardness and rejection by others. Now, it is true that not all voices heard by schizophrenics are persecutory, and it is even true that when the sufferer of the hallucination gets used to the voices, they can keep him or her company, and he or she may even miss them if the voices go away. But to portray the voices as fulfilling roles of imaginary friends is to perpetuate the confusion between schizophrenia and multiple personality and dissociative disorders. It is in dissociation that the different personalities play a functional role, while this doesn't happen in schizophrenia.
