1.1 Overcoming Schizophrenia: John Nash’s Beautiful Mind
Perhaps the most celebrated case of schizophrenia in recent years is that of John Nash, the brilliant mathematician who struggled with this disorder for 35 years, and then was awarded the Nobel Prize for work he had done as a doctoral student back in 1951 at Princeton University. This video follows Nash’s ordeal and triumph, which inspired the award-winning 2001 movie A Beautiful Mind. Perhaps the most powerful part of this video is Nash’s interaction with his adult son, also a mathematician, who also suffers from schizophrenia.
