As always Fresh Air's Terry Gross on NPR did an outstanding interview with the Director several weeks ago. They go fairly deep into the trade offs of making a movie and getting the science right or at least right enough to be entertaining and still meaningful to the young audience.

I'm currently enjoying a book called It's All In Your Head by an Irish neurologist called Suzanne O'Sullivan - review at https://www.theguardian.com/books/2015/jun/07/all-in-your-he.... Summaries of some of the clinical stories themselves are at https://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/may/16/you-think-im...

It's mind boggling (no pun intended) how far psychosomatic illness can go, even as far as resulting in blindness, seizures, and paralysis. I was never familiar with the idea of repressed memories and psychological trauma causing physical illness before and initially dismissed it as arm-wavey pseudoscience, but the amount of evidence is striking even if our level of understanding is poor. This also explains why so many people with undiagnosable pain disorders seem to get referred to psychiatrists here in the UK - people misinterpret this as doctors thinking their illness is all imaginary, it's not, but the cause of it often well can be.
