Boy Interrupted

Would not recommend this as an informative documentary. While watching it it's important to question the things that Evan's parents are saying about his mental illness as I found their comments to be quite unsettling. I felt much sympathy for him and saw aspects of myself reflected in his experience, but the parents and the doctors surrounding him seem entirely misled on what having a mental illness actually is, i.e. It's not simply a kid behaving badly on purpose to torture his parents. All I see is a child completely misunderstood by those around him and them responding with "I don't understand why he's acting this way !!!"
