Writer makes mockery out of Mental Health Care
23 March 2017
Warning: Spoilers
The writer got a diagnosis for a faked mental health condition and used it as a key point in this movie. When you see a psychiatrist or psychologist, they will try to figure our a diagnosis for whatever problem you describe, no matter how unlikely your problem is. They aren't going to call you a liar and throw you out of their office. The writer lost all credibility when he described his methods.

I would have accepted the incident as an unfortunate accident, but the writer specifically said that the character deliberately and without provocation did what he did. This upset me so much, I had to walk out of a Q&A session due to his provocative and irresponsible behavior (especially his falsification of a mental illness).

Mental health is a serious topic and mental illness should not be something to fake just to create a more shocking plot development.
