Watch Zebra Girl (2021) online

Couple quick things about this terrific film.

1. It's clearly not schizophrenia, but schizoaffective disorder: bipolar type. (Know what you're looking at)

2. What happens to Catherine at home, as a child, has ZERO to do with her mental illness.

When mental illness and childhood trauma collide, we get CATHERINE.

But if she had no childhood trauma, she still be on the spectrum and in need of help. (Clinically/pharmaceutically - the film takes only a small stance on the side of meds)

And if she wasn't on the spectrum, and only suffering from childhood trauma, she'd still need help.

Because it's both we have a collision of unfortunate circumstances that lead to this monster.

The Slender Man girls who attempted murder on their friend has THIS EXACT SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES working against them.
