[edit] Love

Is it too far-fetched to interpret the “newer medications” that Nash mentions as the love that his wife provided throughout his difficult times?

I think that's what they should have had him say! I imagine the love and support of his wife and others are what have helped him. But the newer medications for schizophrenia, the atypical antipsychotics (as opposed to the typicals which are now out of patent), are BIG business and being heavily pushed by the pharmaceutical industry (despite research ambiguity over their efficacy). And the screenwriter's mother is a psychiatrist apparently. EverSince 00:20, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

This film is set in Princeton, NJ, not in Massachusetts. It should be re-catagorized. 140.247.248.167 23:04, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

In the book he doesn't get better because of love or medication. He's just one of a minority that went into remission in old age. The book does not really claim he is a homosexual per se or at least that would be overstating the book's claim. It kind of implies it at times, but overall I'd say the book indicates he was bisexual. It has documented information on his being arrested for exposing himself to a male policeman who was essentially trying to entrap homosexuals. (I'm not sure what the Nash camp has to say on this except that maybe the cop misinterpreted an innocent event) That said it's pretty clear his relationships to women were genuine.--T.
