Truth (2013)
A movie that stigmatizes Borderline Personality Disorder
26 November 2022
Again, people with Borderline Personality Disorder are portrayed as psychopaths. Borderline Personality Disorder is a form of PTSD and an insidious damaging condition. People with this condition hurt a great deal, and it is always because of parental emotional and verbal abuse, blaming the child for their parents problems and mistakes, often physical violence in the home, and at times sexual abuse. Self esteem is low because they were raised in chaotic, unstable families and were not given the unconditional love children need from their parents to develop self esteem and the ability to have healthy relationships with others. Their feelings were continually invalidated. It's a shame this movie just adds to the stigmatization, and Rob Moretti should be ashamed of not only his bad acting, but for making this bad, stigmatizing film. Twice as bad because the character with the condition was gay. Even the medication given to help people with this condition is stigmatized. Just an all around awful film.
