Abstract
In this video, Sean Baumann, a senior specialist psychiatrist in UCT's Department of Psychiatry and Mental health, discusses the misrepresentation of mental illness in film and theater, particular misrepresentations of schizophrenia-like disorders. He makes the argument that an improved understanding of mental health by viewing it from a first-person perspective would help address this problem. He describes how music can offer rich representations of mental illness. This is the third video in Week 5 of the Medicine and the Arts Massive Open Online Course.
