He suddenly claimed that aliens were sending him messages, became obsessed with secret numbers, and saw conspiracies all around him. Diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, Nash spent a decade in and out of mental hospitals, surviving with the support of his wife and former colleagues. During that time, a mathematical proof he'd written at the age of twenty became a foundation of modern economics. Sometime in the 1980s he gradually began to recover. In 1994, Nash capped his remarkable return from madness by winning the Nobel Prize.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the film, John Nash candidly reflects on his life and tragic illness. \"Madness can be an escape,\" he says. \"In madness, I thought I was the most important person in the world.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBonus DVD Features\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCommentary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnamorphic \/ Widescreen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5.1 Surround Sound\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInterview with John Nash\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMore information on schizophrenia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRunning time: Approx. 60 minutes • Color • Closed captions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor DVD Player (North American NTSC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"PBS (American Experience) \/ WGBH Boston \/ Warner H","offers":[{"title":"New, Sealed In Box","offer_id":51327602065686,"sku":"131649","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/files\/202642314505299scan.jpg?v=1779215724","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/american-experience-a-brilliant-madness","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
