Boy Interrupted

I don't know how on earth no one in the family could tell how horrendous the Evan's "psychiatrist" was. I'm NAD but he is an absolute quack and shouldn't be practicing and treating patients. He calls Evan "crazy" multiple times, allows his patient to dictate whether he will take his lithium for bipolar disorder, stating "he doesn't need it anymore". It's not a curable mental illness wtf!! Are you kidding me?!!?! He is partly to blame for Evan's death and I'm so sorry to his family. He's up there with Dr. Death. He had the nerve to be on this documentary... shame on you, Ladd Speigel!!!!

I hope you walk in sunshine the rest of the days of your lives. May you one day hold your son again.

Documentary tells about the life and end for Evan Perry, a boy that suffered with depression from his childhood and did suicide at the age of 15. Story builds up from him having suicidal thoughts and plans to kill himself at primary school all the way to getting better and having a better phase in secondary school. We report his life getting better even to the phase that his lithium medication dosage gets lowered to handle less side effect symptoms. And then there was an open Window and a note on laptop. The rest is silence. Expect to cry.

The 4 stars go to the boy, his brother, all his friends and the scenes they showed from his childhood.

Now, having all that material, years of experience seeing the child's mental deterioration, how could it be that the psychiatrist did not try other treatment? When you have a patient who does not improve after so many years, you need to transfer their case to another specialist!

If the child was misdiagnosed throughout his life, he would literally be responsible for his death. Years of treatment and he reads only a few notes in which he has almost nothing written about him.

Anyway. I can't empathize with psychiatrists, it seems like they have been deprived of their consciousness.

Not an easy movie to watch ,but you really get the picture what its like about these things. Poor dude.
