“Symptoms in Schizophrenia”, 1930, is one of the digitalized movies of the project.
Medical Movies on the Web is a curated portal to selected films from the National Library of Medicine’s audiovisual collection. These films cover a broad range of medical and health-related topics, from public health, surgery, and nursing to cancer, tuberculosis, child development, tropical medicine, personal cleanliness, diet, drugs, alcohol, dental hygiene, mental health, and much more. Some are public education films, some are professional training films, and some were made for scientific or medical research. Many of these films are very rare, and in some cases the NLM may have the only surviving copy.
