To be labelled as insane is to automatically be marginalised within society, to be packaged in to a corner and left to rot, to have your voice silenced and discredited. Why? To protect society. But the question that no one is asking, why do some people become insane? What does it really mean to be insane? And is it being over diagnosed?
The with release of the new Joker movie starring Joaquin Phoenix we noticed that it shone a light on the fringe characters within society, those struggling to fit in and are soon excommunicated and thus forced to fight back. We see the journey of his character and how he got to become insane. This also reminded us of the similarities of another movie, Falling Down starring Michael Douglas. Both character suffer psychotic breakdowns, but their insanity is expressed is a very understandable and relatable way. So I ask again, what is insanity?
