For a moment, we are not the only depressed person in the room.
When we see ourselves in a character, for a moment, we are not the only ones mourning. Movies are a great reminder that we are not alone in what we feel or experience. If you are struggling with mental illness or another mental health issue, or have even just been feeling a little down, perhaps watching characters on your screen go through similar emotions and tribulations can be a form of exposure therapy, helping you work through your own trauma and grief. It’s something many of us can relate to, even if we don’t always feel comfortable admitting it. Nearly one in five adults are living with a mental illness, so it’s no surprise that depression and other mental disorders are not only a prevalent theme in movies but sometimes even the inspiration behind them.
