Learning about psychological disorders this week got me thinking about the movie Me, Myself, and Irene featuring Jim Carrey. When I first saw this movie when I was younger, I always thought Charlie (Jim Carrey) had schizophrenia. Of course I didn't know too much about psychological disorders, so that thought stuck with me until we started into this unit. I have now learned that schizophrenia is when you have difficulty telling real situations from unreal situations, and almost have hallucinations.
I now know that in the movie, Charlie had what was calling dissociative identity disorder, which is basically two personalities. Charlie's first personality was himself, who he has always been. But then there is Hank. Hank is the 'other' personality of Charlie. Hank is more risky and outgoing than Charlie, and doesn't care what other people think. I think Me, Myself, and Irene is a good movie that represents dissociative identity disorder.
