Welcome back to Analyze Scripts, where a psychiatrist and a therapist analyze what Hollywood gets right and wrong about mental health. Today, we're release part 2 of our analysis of season 1 "American Horror Story: Murder House" focusing on the Langdon family played by Jamie Brewer (Adelaide, the daughter with Down Syndrome), Jessica Lange (Constance, the mother), and Evan Peters (Tate, the son). We use these characters to (once again! it's everywhere!) explore narcissistic personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder, and the narcissistic family structure with Constance as the matriarch. We also discuss Down syndrome and spend some time at the end reviewing the latest data on characteristics of mass shooters. We end the episode with a special announcement about our ongoing fundraiser to benefit the Catherine Violet Hubbard Foundation, an animal sanctuary founded in honor of Catherine Hubbard, one of the Sandy Hook victims, by her mother, Jenny Hubbard. Stay tuned for an extra special episode with Jenny Hubbard later this week. We hope you enjoy!

  • 90. Episode 90 - "Not Dead Yet" Autism in Media w/ @differentspectrumspodcast

    55:05||Ep. 90
    Welcome back to Analyze Scripts, where a psychiatrist and a therapist analyze what Hollywood gets right and wrong about mental health. Today, we are excited to cover Not Dead Yet season 1 which premiered on ABC but can also be streamed on Hulu. The best part of this episode is that we are joined by @differentspectrumspodcast Dr. Naz and Spencer! In this episode we analyze the depiction of Autism Spectrum Disorder and focus on Edward played by Rick Glassman, an actor with autism. Autism has notoriously had some pretty poor characterizations in the media so we are thrilled to see autism depicted this way additionally with a person who has lived experience. Edward is an environmental lawyer who lives with Nell, played by Gina Rodriguez, who guess what, sees the ghosts of obituaries she is writing. The characters are fabulous, the conversation with Dr. Naz and Spencer is even better! We can't wait for you to join us!InstagramTikTokWebsiteYoutubeDR.
