Every third/fourth Sunday, at The Orange Room, we examine Mental Health in Pop culture. As we continue to explore mental health in pop culture, let’s talk about Athiran and the following aspects depicted in the movie.
- Nithya (Sai Pallavi) is an autistic Kalari artiste with a troubled history.
- Dr. Nair/ Vinayan ( Fahadh Fasil) suffers from schizophrenia with delusions and all of its psychotic elements.
- What is the projected image of a person in the Autism Spectrum?
- What is the real image of a person in the Autism Spectrum?
- What is the projected image of a person suffering from schizophrenia with delusions?
- What is the real image of a person suffering from schizophrenia with delusions?
Does the movie spread a positive mental health image? Movies such as this one – does it spread mental health awareness and help reduce the stigma associated with it? Or does it spread misconceptions and add on to the stigma?
Come, let us discuss openly about how popular culture is affecting the minds of common people.
- Date: 25 August 2019 , 4:30 – 6 PM
- Venue: The Orange Room, Trivandrum
