+.	Metzl discusses how Alice Wilson had her diagnosis change from schizophrenia to depression despite showing the same symptoms “for much of the preceding forty years” (163). He states the doctor “made the diagnostic switch…because of the cultural symptoms he subliminally registered but decidedly did not recognize even though the appeared right in front of him in the examination room” (166). Do you think that this “switch” was a conscious or unconscious act?
+.	Metzl, while allowing for the fact that the movie A Beautiful Mind “humanize[s] schizophrenia,” argues that it promotes racial stigma due to its focus on a “beautiful, white male schizophrenic genius” (208). Having seen the film many times, I do not believe that the character John Nash (played by Russell Crowe) comes across as a “beautiful white male,” but rather as an awkward, aloof, genius who struggles with a serious mental disease. I do agree, however, with Metzl that the film does indeed “oversimplify” the real John Nash.

+) The author talks about the different things like policy changes, legal system changes, urban decay, and political crisis that shape a patient's experience pre-arrival to a psychiatrist. Just like schizophrenia became associated with the Civil Rights Movement, what is another example of black men/women's mental health being linked to historic examples of prejudice and racism.

+. Are there any persisting examples of mental health practitioners over diagnosing a specific group of people with a disroder for stereotypical/stigmatic reasons?
