Character Analysis Academic Help

I’m working on a English question and need guidance to help me study.

PLEASE READ THE REQUIREMENTS CAREFULLY & ONLY SIGN UP FOR THIS IF YOU HAVE WRITTEN THIS TYPE OF PAPER BEFORE ❗ ❗ ❗

You will write a 5-6 page APA paper that will analyze a movie/show fictional character depicting a psychological disorder of your choice. Mental health is not always represented accurately and is sometimes romanticized in Hollywood. You are required to compare and contrast the symptoms displayed by the fictional character in the movie/show with the current disorder’s DSM-5 diagnostic criteria (symptoms). The DSM-5 is a handbook used by mental health professionals to diagnose an individual displaying psychological distress. You will use your book (chapter 14 and 15) and the DSM-5 handbook when looking for the symptoms that fit the diagnosis and possible treatment(s). You will begin by choosing three of your top movies/shows (this was done in Discussion Board #2). To prevent everyone from choosing the same movie, I will choose one of the three options you provided me. I will reply to you with the final movie assigned to you. If you have a movie/show that was not included in the list below, you may include it in your list (approval will be required).
