Medically reviewed by TherapyRoute
The ultimate list of mental health movies. Movies and films that depict psychiatric disorders and or engage with or illustrate important issues related to psychiatric diagnosis and features of mental illness.

Human lives and behaviour are far more nuanced and emotive than any psychiatric diagnostic system or symptom checklist can portray.

Most people recognise aspects of themselves in at least a few psychiatric diagnostic categories. The difference between normal and disorder is not straightforward and often has more to do with degree rather than kind, i.e. does it cause big problems?

Therapy should be personal. Therapists listed on TherapyRoute are qualified, independent, and free to answer to you – no scripts, algorithms, or company policies.

Find Your Therapist

While movies are not perfect depictions of reality, they often present themes in relatable, enriching, usefully challenging, and thought-provoking ways.

We invite you to explore mental health through movies that raise awareness, open dialogue, present complexity, entertain, and/or normalise experiences.
