I've thought of a couple of other films dealing with mental illness:
- "Face to Face" directed by Ingmar Bergman and starring Liv Ullmann as a psychiatrist who is treating a young girl with a psychotic disorder - this is a very old film and not available on VHS or DVD yet (as far as I know) - It was, and still is, one of my favorite movies. Liv Ullmann develops symptoms of psychosis - can't remember the details.
Also - "Requiem For a Dream" for a movie about drug addiction - with Jarod Leto and Ellen Burstyn, Jennifer Connelly - about heroin addiction and amphetamine/benzo addiction leading to psychosis - this is a disturbing film by Darren Aronofsky based on a book by Hubert Selby, the same author as "Pi"
