The Sixth Sense

Throughout the movie, The Sixth Sense, I found two of many psychological factors. Depression: a psychological disorder characterized by extreme sadness, and inability to concentrate, and feelings of helplessness and dejection. In the movie, Malcom's wife was devestated from tht loss of her husband. She was shown talking in her sleep about him as if he were still there. There was also a scene that shown the anti-depressant pills that she was taking. A couple …

…was also shown (through Kera's tape) when the mother poured the chemical in Kera's bowl, and told her to eat it, and she also said, "Now don't say it tastes funny, you know how I don't like that." Overall I think this movie can help some psychologists think of the possibilities and not assume something so common. For instance, when Malcom first met Cole, he right away assumed he had a mood disorder or schizophrenia.
