Thank you for your entries everyone

It may not appear to be about mental health at first, but it's actually worth watching.
A warning: this is a tough movie, which may not be ideal for everyone.

What About Bob? 1991
Comedy with Bill Murray
At this point it's dated, but worth watching if you don't mind

 

[Swampyfroggie]

Forgot about L.I.E and Sleepers

What About Bob? 1991
Comedy with Bill Murray

I forgot about that one!!

I love it.. I have it on VHS.. My mum didnt like that movie,she didnt understand Bobbys hanging onto Dr Marvin..

All he wanted was a friend!!

I think Dr. Marvins Son ZIGGY?? (I forgot his name) (was more of a friend to Bobbys than the Dr was!!

The Butterfly Effect (2004)
I'm not a fan of Ashton Kutcher, but it's still worth watching.
