The 1999 film Girl, Interrupted, directed by James Mangold with Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie, is an adaptation of Susanna Kaysen's biography, about her experiences in a psychiatric hospital after that she was diagnosed with the disease. Borderline personality disorder in the 60s. The film follows the story of a teenager named Susanna who is admitted to Claymore Hospital after attempting suicide by overdosing on a mixture of aspirin and vodka. The film makes it very clear to the viewer, in more than one scene, that Susanna often questions her diagnosis, in the opening monologue of the film Susanna says: “Have you ever confused a dream with life? Or did you steal something when you had money? Have you ever been blue? Or I thought your train was moving while maybe it was the sixties or maybe I was just a girl interrupted. (Wick, Conrad, & Mangold, 1999). Susanna also wonders who draws the line between what is normal or abnormal behavior, does being depressed and losing one's identity define someone as having a mental illness? Another scene in the film that expresses Susanna's doubts about her diagnosis is when she says “are we ever really crazy or maybe life is…? . . the madness is simply amplified” (Wick, Conrad & Mangold, 1999). I believe that Susanna is right in questioning her diagnosis, perhaps she is not "crazy", after seeing the film I also wonder whether she was diagnosed correctly or not; I believe she is "that interrupted girl", she did not suffer from borderline personality disorder, but rather had a transient identity crisis, combined with depression and anxiety caused by the stress in her environment. It must be taken into consideration that the revolution of the 1960s was a period of confusion, especially for an eighteen-year-old girl who could not find her place in a “crazy” world. Problems within her family and social environment along with role confusion, are causing Susanna psychological dysfunction which triggers depression and anxiety, as a result she expresses symptoms similar to bipolar disorder. In the second scene of the film the viewer sees some of the symptoms caused by her "disorder" since Susanna attempted suicide, we see her tied to a hospital bed while she explains to the doctors why she tried to kill herself: "Check my hands there there are no bones inside. . . sometimes it's hard for me to stay in the same place” (Wick, Conrad & Mangold, 1999). In the next scene we see Susanna talking to a therapist, she seems confused and her statements about time and place are strange, she seems to have lost contact with reality, her strange behavior pushes the therapist to ask her if she is taking drugs, Susanna replies no, when the therapist asks her how she feels, she finds it difficult to explain and replies "I don't know how I feel" (Wick, Conrad & Mangold,
