Now that Allie is dead and that D.B. moved away, Holden feels that he doesn’t have anyone. It is just he and his little sister Phoebe. Holden also misses his family, and rarely gets to see them because he goes to a boarding school. Holden feels depressed from the prior events in his family, and no longer has the desire to learn or strive to be successful.

Social isolation, poor housing, unemployment and poverty are all linked to mental ill health. So stigma and discrimination can trap people in a cycle of illness. The situation is exacerbated by the media. Media reports often link mental illness with violence, or portray people with mental health problems as dangerous, criminal, evil, or very disabled and unable to live normal, fulfilled lives. 2.2 How mental illness can have an impact on the individual: Psychologically: - person may become paranoid and therefore exclude him or her self -person may become paranoid and therefore hurt others who she/he fears will try to hurt him/her -person may become isolated and therefore out of touch with other people and reality in general -person may feel unloved even if it is not true -person may feel like he/she is a threat to society and therefore attempt suicide emotionally: -person may feel isolated, unloved, paranoid, panicked and non-human (read Francis Kafka's The Metamorphosis)
Many students are anxious about quizzes and tests. The quizzes and tests have a decisive effect on their transcripts. Students feel so much pressure right before the tests. They sleep only few hours or they just study all night. Students always worry about what is going to be on the test, and students think they will get bad grades on the test.
He let go of a girl he used to like, got in a fight with his roommate, and got kicked out of yet another school. Either this or the fact that Holden can’t really connect with anybody would make him feel like this. He feels although he’s living amongst “phony” people and can’t really talk to anyone. He feels very depressed while at Pency because of his inability to connect with anyone there, or because he’s being kicked out and will miss it. Holden decides to stay at a hotel instead where he can relax and not have to deal with anyone at Percy anymore.
The apartment is also small and cluttered with spaces not suited for a walker. With garbage disposal being on the first floor, there is a possibility that an excess of garbage in the apartment will lead to a pest infestation. Secondly, there’s the fact that the patient doesn’t seem like he will be compliant with his new medication and nutrition regimen. He already states that he doesn’t like taking the medication and appears to not understand the importance of them either. Since family is unavailable to assist, this leaves Mr. Trosack on his own.
Chronic illness can also lead to depression. People with depression often do not socialize with other people or just walk by themselves and reject their friends, spouse, or family. Depression can cause heart attacks and also Parkinson’s disease (which is what Robin Williams had). Depression can cause headaches, neck pain, and abdominal pain. Depression can interfere with sexual performance.
Typically, people with depression find it hard to go about their day-to-day activities and may also feel that life is not worth living. People with depression may take antidepressants, which are psychiatric medication to alleviate symptoms. When taken, antidepressants affect the nervous system in your body, mainly your neurotransmitters. There are several forms of depression. Major depressive disorder and dysthymic disorder are the most common.
The codes pop out of the paper to him, and everything makes sense. Even though the codes are imaginary. Nash figures out mathematical formulas, and actually modifies a theory that had been accepted in its field. Nash states that he cannot do his work without the hallucinations. Nash completely breaks down, and he thinks he is being held against his will by the Russians, when in reality he is schizophrenic.
A Beautiful Mind was a movie about a man, John Forbes Nash, Jr, played by Russell Crowe, who is a brilliant mathematician, eventually diagnosed with severe schizophrenia. The movie follows Nash from his years in graduate school until late in his life, from before his disease was recognized, to his diagnosis, through treatment and its effects on his everyday life, and how he was able to deal with it for the remainder of his time. In the beginning of the movie, Nash is a graduate student at Princeton University in the 1940’s. He is socially awkward and has a hard time fitting in with the other students, and he is teased about his intellect, his theories, and also about his awkwardness in dealing with others. Nash is also a bit arrogant, and is more focused on developing an original idea for his thesis than spending time with other people.
