Alzheimer's is *not* a mental illness. It is a progressive neurological disease in which plague builds on the brain. Mental illness is a metaphor- the DSM is garbage- and this movie outright lies to try to support a very twisted agenda. Normal people who are reacting to very real problems are mistreated and silenced with psychiatric drugs. I liken psychiatric treatment to being raped, being 'prescribed' arsenic, and then being told it's the somehow a solution. It's the definition of insanity.
The true stigma comes from the well-intentioned, whose labels can clearly depersonalize and dehumanize suffering. And Pfizer, and other companies, are all to happy to acquiesce to this science of madness.
Read Explaining colours to a blind man. Not only will it enlighten many as to what living with a mental illness is like, it also gives comfort to those sufferers who think there is no hope and that they are alone. It is very informative, sometimes shocking but also very funny in parts. All in all, a good read and highly recommended.

This is amazing. The acting is far superior to the average PSA. It really stands out and shows the powerful message.
