I just watched A Beautiful Mind on Netflix. It's about a mathematician with paranoid schizophrenia. It's terribly moving. Anyone else see it?

Yes.
In real life, Nash was very anti semitic.

Yes. Was very glad I did (I usually don’t watch movies) when a few years later I was introduced to dh who happens to be bipolar. Really helped me put things into perspective. (B”H happily married for well over a decade.)

Loved it!

I loved how they portrayed his brilliance, to the point that I felt genuine surprise and sadness when it became clear he was insane.

The insulin shock treatment... That terrified me. My dad is a diabetic who has tremendous difficulty controlling his blood sugar. From a young age, he trained us all to respond to him going into shock. Seeing it done to someone on purpose... It seemed like torture, and horrific. I get that it was a functional cure, but it's making me want to vomit, even as I type.
