For this assignment, I would like you to watch a movie or episode from a series of your choice that presents a psychological disorder discussed in Chapter 14. As you watch the video, take notes that reflect examples of the criteria/symptoms for the disorder that are represented in the movie or episode.
1. Give a short description of the psychological disorder you have chosen; include detailed information of three main signs or symptoms associated with this specific disorder. You may use your textbook or the website for the National Institutes of Mental Health as resources.

Be sure that you use your own words for all text that is not in quotations, and that you adequately cite sources you use when referring to specific details or claims.
2. Give a short synopsis of the chosen video, including the main plot and who are the main characters. Make sure to describe why you have chosen the specific video. Please summarize the video IN YOUR OWN WORDS, not using a synopsis from the internet; this would be considered plagiarism.
3. Provide at least two examples describing in detail how the signs or symptoms for the psychological disorder (that are mentioned in step 1) are represented in the video.
Here is a list of movies that might help you in choosing, although you don’t have to stick to this list.
