Regarding the difference between psychiatrists and psychologists, medication, and complaints.

I watched this film under the label of psychological suspense, and it turned out that it was not actually a psychological film.
After all, I learned this psychology, and I criticized the disadvantages of drug treatment while looking at it in my heart.
Here is a little bit of science. The doctors in the movie are not psychologists as we understand them, but psychiatrists. So they will prescribe drugs to patients, and psychologists are basically opposed to medication. (Some places may not be very divided, but our school is very divided, and the professors are very opposed to or even despise the use of drugs.)
The side effects of psychotropic drugs should not be underestimated. If the medication is given to patients under 18 years old, it will even cause more mental illness. An extreme example is an 8-year-old boy who has to take eight different drugs every day to maintain it.
Psychologists all recommend the use of psychological counseling as the main treatment, supplemented by drugs. Simply put, it means that you can not take medicine without taking medicine. Generally speaking, there are only a small number of people who have to use drugs to control mental illness. Most of them still use the phrase "Heart disease needs heart medicine."
Turning back to the movie, the so-called suspense is unexpected.
This film is a bit like "First Fear", it's all about exonerating people through mental illness. However, the film is meticulous from beginning to end, with traps surrounding layers. In contrast, "First Fear" is much simpler, but the focus is different from others, and it is not comparable.
I think the most unexpected thing about this film is that the two people who have no interest link are actually mixed together, or the most unexpected relationship.
Basically, it is just a few people with high IQ who are fighting, acting skills, fighting methods, and finally to see who can beat who, so the smartest is Jude Law with the highest hairline wins (it seems that there is something wrong...).
It was originally a suspense film, so I won't be spoiled by a bit of character.
See it for yourself.
