Brain Damage by Pink Floyd? (It's on "Dark Side of the Moon") -christopher green ================= Marjorie S. Hardy wrote: Hi Everyone! I'm teaching Abnormal Psychology this fall and am looking to do something a little different this time. I've always been interested in the depiction of mental illness in the media.  Instead of films this time (which can be long, expensive, and difficult to fit into classtime), I thought I would bring some popular and classical rock songs (maybe some country as well?) to class to introduce the different disorders.  This idea came to me as I listened to the often played "Unwell" by Matchbox 20--a song that I think captures quite well the experience of "going mad."  I'm trying to come up with a list of songs that depict the different disorders--from depression and anxiety, to body dysmorphic disorder, to dissociative identity disorder, and all the others in-between.  I thought the Tipsters would be a great place to start.  If you send your ideas to me or to the list, I'll be happy to compile the results and share them with everyone.  Thanks!
