Movie Review "Helen" with Ashley Judd Depressive Disorder Depression Sadness

Ashley JuddCover of Ashley JuddA movie about the realities of Depressive Disorder (aka having a Nervous Breakdown)... a very real Dis-ease. The hardships, the struggles. If you have experienced it you will understand. If not, this film will give you a hint at the uncontrollable feelings and urges.

My husband said, "Why would anyone want to see that? It's so depressing." (long pause) People who have not experienced it, just don't get it.

Just as in the movie he said, "She just needs to get out and get some exercise." If only it were that easy.

I found it both enlightening and, in the end, encouraging.



I was diagnosed with  Depression for two years after not being able to save a friend (through CPR) from dying under my watch. But the reasons are many. Who knows. Some may be subconscious. Some (if you believe in it could even be from Past Life experiences) if you believe in that sort of thing.

In any case, this movie gives a good depiction.

SPOILER:  Instead of Prozac she gets Prozapped. 

Available now on  Netflix Instant View.
