my mom : *it's all because of that goddamn phone*

[osamarajab]

The doctor who helped her in real life is from syria
His name is sohel najar

[anneneville]

21 years old and working at a New York Post haha and here am I, still doing my masters at 25 :D

[Prettyboi_Lele]

The scariest thing about this movie is if her parents weren’t there for her fighting for her she would have basically died.

[STANKBREATH]

It's wierd seeing Chloe play an adult part.

[laylewalden]

This story needs to be on the news. There are so many people that judge and make fun of those with mental issues. I'm shocked to see so many supportive and heartfelt comments. I'm experiencing symptoms of this disease and most of my family and friends either left my life or were unsupportive.

I had Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis at 21 as well. Her story is so...terrifyingly similar to my own. If it had not been for the book, it would have been a lot harder for people around me to understand. The movie made it easy to show people what I had gone through.

Souhel Najjar is a Syrian-American neurologist whose story with Susannah Cahalan turned into an American drama film. He is considered as the first physician in New York University history who identifies the mechanism of interaction between the immune system and the central nervous system.

I got Anti NMDA receptor autoimmune encephalitis just like Susannah in 2016 when I was 14. This movie excellently displays the symptoms but of course it can never properly replicate the emotional distress of the patient and the parents. So glad this rare life threatening illness will be made more aware of by this movie.

I loved this film. Hit close to home. My aunt died of brain cancer, R.I.P., and my sister was misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder and has been in a psychiatric hospital twice. I thought of them both greatly during this film. My mom and I were brought to tears several times as a result. Such a powerful film.

[HalleWilson]

This movie was sooo good 10/10. I’m lost of words. Phenomenal acting by the main character. Everyone should watch this during the quarantine.

[biancab]

This is like my story. Since I was 4 years old I was constantly sick. I was like a waking corpse, I couldn't eat even if I was hungry and the pain in my stomach was unberable. At 7 years old I had 17 kg. The doctors in my country didn't know what I had. They kept saying that I'm doing this to myself because I'm crazy and that in reality I'm healthy. When I was 12 years old a doctor had the idea to try a new treatment and discoverd that I had gastritis, which is very uncommon for a kid so young, but still easy to discover. Now I'm 16 years old and healthy, but not because of the medical sistem. Even if I still feel pain sometimes, I can thank my mother for not giving up on my, fighting for me and supporting me. She's the reason I'm alive today, because unlike my mother, my father completly gave up on me back then.

Why Netflix does not have all the movies to all countries?

[Benni]

This movie means so much too me, I read and watched the book twice, bc my younger cousin had Anti NMDA Receptor Encephalitis as well, and I wanted to learn all I could about this disease. She wasn’t herself, and even though she couldn’t understand everything that was happening to her, she knew she was safe and loved.

[JenJ]

This movie saved my life. I wrote letters and made a plan. I called my doctor immediately after the movie. Now that ive been diagnosed i cant believe i have a chancle now of feeling okay and sane, like a normal person. Dont take your mental health for granted, folks. You have no idea what a treasure that is.

[vladsava]

Get dr House, he'll fix her in one episode.

[Shadowbane]

Wow. Jeri Hogarth and a similar scarf to Jessica Jones.

[makaylaaa]

it’s scarier watching this when you’ve been through some of these traumatic events. thank you susannah for sharing your story, you saved lives ❤️

[myrtila]

Such an amazing movie! Had me to tears and also made me feel really really really bad for complaining and getting caught up in small and meaningless things. Susannah (the real susannah) must be so strong to not only get better but to share her story as well. Really inspiring.

How have I already watched the entire thing?¿
