"A Beautiful Mind will enlighten, encourage, and destigmatize mental illness. I sincerely believe it will do more for the suffering of millions of people than any other movie. It is a staggering achievement."
The 220,000 members and 1,200 affiliates of the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI) are proud to support the new legislation introduced by Representatives Marge Roukema (R-NJ) and Patrick Kennedy (D-RI), seeking to provide parity and end discrimination in health insurance coverage. Americans with severe mental illnesses and their families are grateful to them for their leadership.

Christine (Bates) is diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder as a teenager.
