The script for the film was fact checked for authenticity by Dr. Barbara Van Dahlen (Give An Hour, PREVENTS) at the request of Jaime Bennington to ensure that the depiction of mental illness throughout the film was not only true to Jaime's own struggles with mental health and mental illness, but also with the original setting of the poem Paranoid: A Chant, which depicts a man struggling with what the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) understands as the schizophrenic spectrum and other psychotic conditions.
