Correlations Between Dopamine and Hallucinations

    As highlighted by the article, large amounts of dopamine factors into the likeliness of emerging hallucinations and delusions. As a result, taking drugs that would repress dopamine production, formally labelled antipsychotic medications, would alleviate the prevalence of hallucinations. In our original storyboard, we had decided to transition after the title card/obstructive piece into the character drinking water to calm her nerves and displaying a doctor's appointment held up nearby. To further solidify the fact the previous sequence was a hallucination, we decided to add her taking pills with water and include the doctor being a psychiatrist so that such is thoroughly defined. Additionally, my dog coming into frame can be interpreted similar to a support dog for her.
