Essay on The psychiatric disorders

The video on famous people with mental illness demonstrates that many actors, authors, musicians, sportsmen and other public figures suffer from different mental and behavioral disorders. The video gave two main sources, one of which is National Alliance on Mental Illness website and another is Centers of Disease Control and Prevention webpage. They present reliable information, statistical data and case studies of different mental illnesses, they also offer help tips for those who require it and suggest apply to self-pre diagnosis in some cases. Though it is evident that work-related stress and other issues of famous people make them become victims of such illnesses as bipolar disorder, depression, stress disorder, the most surprising was to learn about Gillian Anderson, David Beckham, Halle Berry, Jim Carrey and Ernest Hemingway. David Beckham who is one of the most admired sportsmen having talent and recognition surprisingly suffers from obsessive compulsive disorder. The football player counts clothes and has everything put in a straight line and symmetrically. He describes the disorder as quite tiring. Jim Carrey, one of the most famous producers and known comedians in the world, has a remarkable story from poverty to smashing success. He accepts that has suffered from depression and bipolar for a long time. His depression was accompanied with abrupt mood changes and constant state of sadness. Ernest Hemingway, one of my favorite writers of the twentieth century, has a long story of suffering that eventually led him to suicide. All his life the author of “For Whom the Bell Tolls” and “The Sun Also Rises” was obsessed with death. Participation in World War I and World War II resulted in the talented writer’s posttraumatic stress disorder, insomnia, bipolar, narcissistic disorder, paranoia and depression. It is hard to believe that the author of immortal works of fiction suffered from so many interrelated psychiatric disorders.
