Andy seems to be showing signs of psychosis. Immediately I saw that he was very paranoid and suspicious of the people around him. The content of what he is saying does not make sense as he is accusing his roommates of putting voices in his brain. He believes his roommates are out to get him and fears they are listening to him. I noticed that his eyes wonder and he lacks eye contact. He seems to have lost all relationship with reality and experiences auditory hallucinations. Andy states that the thoughts in his head are planted from his roommates which are being tracked through a device they placed in his brain. The patient seems to be confused and suspicious as to why his friends would do this to him. The delusions and hallucinations seem very

M.’s wife, the college dean, hospital staff and even her roommate were dangerous threats to her mission of saving the world. Janet’s struggle to “save the world” can equate to her hope of being saved herself. These persecutory delusions helped Janet endure her extreme anxiety. Hallucinations, which include hearing voices and seeing things that are not real, are a positive symptom of schizophrenia. Janet experienced auditory hallucinations when she felt thwarted in her delusion that she and Dr. M. must save the world. She was unable to rescue herself from the stress that brought about the delusion formation; this stress and anxiety left her vulnerable to hallucinations. In addition, her paranoia led her to accept the hallucinations as proof of the threats against her plan for world salvation. The command hallucinations Janet heard placed her in danger of performing violent behavior that could harm herself or
Based on my understanding on the movie I have watched, I think Donnie Darko was a typical high school guy who wanted to reminiscent his past life so that he could correct what he did wrong before. He wanted to fix it properly at the same time to learn the truth if after-life existed. Do you think we could go back to our past life? If so, then can we fix our mistakes and correct it properly? Well! These questions might be a puzzled to everybody because as far as we or I concerned there was no record ever stated in the history that people have a chance to go back their past life.
Personally, Michelle views her biggest challenges to be her auditory hallucinations, labile mood, and lack of sobriety. These challenges are the cause of her mental health, but her environment exacerbates her problems. Her stressful environment with her parents causes her to resort to unsavory friends for support. Michelle has a lot of faith in god and trusts that she will recover if she continues to pray and takes advantage of the services she receives. Being religious has helped her in the past as it has helped her stay sober, and has kept her on top of taking her medications.

Selby, in Requiem for a Dream, describes his version of the characters’ hallucinations while on drugs:
The patient M. is a 26 year old married female who was brought to the ER by her husband after increased anxiety and depression worsened after a “spiritual attack” that lasted for over four days. While in the ER the patient admitted to hearing multiple distant male and female voices all around her head and outside of her head.

She is cognizant of the strangeness of her claims but believes them to be real
