I know from personal experience that this line is very true as a close personal friend suffering from mental illness said something eerily similar.

They also show the character being given different drugs that either fail or have terrible side effects. ![]() ![]() It is fairly realistic portrayal of mental illness and how difficult of a time care givers have dealing with the sufferer. No, it is not as maudlin as that sounds, it is very well acted by Charlie Plummer with a good supporting cast including Andy Garcia, Taylor Russell, and Beth Grant. This is a drama about a teenager diagnosed with schizophrenia and his efforts to hide it from a potential girlfriend. ![]()
