Welcome back to Analyze Scripts, where a psychiatrist and a therapist analyze what Hollywood gets right and wrong about mental health. Today, we are releasing the first part of our analysis of season 1 of "American Horror Story: Murder House." This episode focuses on analyzing the Harmon family as played by Dylan McDermott (Ben, a psychiatrist), Connie Britton (Vivien, Ben's wife), and Taissa Farmiga (Violet, the Harmon's teenage daughter). We have a LOT to say about the show's portrayal of a psychiatrist working inside their home, the depiction of psychotherapy, and Ben's infidelity. We use Violet's character to discuss common signs of adolescent depression and Vivien's character to explore perinatal mental health issues and the distinction between psychosis and the supernatural. We also discuss trauma disorders and our views about living in a haunted house. Tune in for part 2 analyzing the Langdon family next week! We hope you enjoy!

Welcome back to Analyze Scripts, where a psychiatrist and a therapist analyze what Hollywood gets right and wrong about mental health. Today, we are diving in to the 2023 Oscar winning film by Yorgos Lanthimos film "Poor Things." This one's a wild ride! Beyond the beautiful award winning costuming, stunning sets, and all-star cast including Oscar winner Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, Willem Dafoe and Ramy Youssef, this film is rich with psychological content for us to analyze. We focus on using Bella Baxter's development to discuss Erik Erikson's theory of personality development using eight psychosocial stages and discuss how we see these stages unfold in the film. We also explore our feelings about the (surprising to us!) amount of nudity and the film's depiction of the role of female sexual pleasure. We hope you enjoy!

Welcome back to Analyze Scripts, where a psychiatrist and a therapist analyze what Hollywood gets right and wrong about mental health. Today, we are back again with our friend and child/adolescent psychiatrist, Dr. Zheala Qayyum, MD MMSc to continue our Harry Potter series journey! In this episode we analyze book three which is a fan favorite. We see so much development in the trio as they come face to face with dementors, bullies and time?! The books get progressively darker as the trio age and face a different kind of threat. We explore depression and trauma symbolism as we analyze the dementors. New relationships emerge for Harry and we explore the role of friendships and supports during “pre-teenhood.” We hope you enjoy! -Katrina & Portia
