Montréal, April 24, 2006 – What do Shrek and Mozart have in common? They’re both starring in Frames of Mind, a Douglas Hospital movie series created to help demystify mental illness. In honor of Mental Health Week (May 1-7, 2006) and for a third consecutive year, the Douglas Hospital proudly presents a series of five films dealing with Alzheimer Disease, youth depression and suicide, bipolar disorders, schizophrenia, and eating disorders. Each evening is hosted by specialists, who answer audience questions on the mental illness highlighted in the film.

“Due to the outstanding success of Frames of Mind, we’ve decided to make it an annual event,” explains Jacques Hendlisz, director general of the Douglas Hospital. “Today, people want more information on mental illness. It’s becoming increasingly important to our society and demands serious attention. We must educate the public about mental health, and demystify taboos. This series gives us the perfect opportunity to increase public knowledge in an entertaining format.”
