The biggest fear portrayed in John Nash's illness in the movie was the concept of not having a grip on reality; not knowing what is real and what is not. In the case of schizophrenia, one suffers from visual and auditory delusions, and a skewed perception of reality, which they perceive to be real. This can become very confusing and give someone the traditional feeling of being "crazy."
John Nash's troubles began with the onset of paranoid schizophrenia in the late 1950s, leading to delusions and hallucinations that disrupted his career and personal life. This mental illness marked the beginning of a challenging period for Nash, as he struggled to navigate the impacts of his condition on his work as a mathematician and his relationships.
