Madness thru juju

Has anyone noticed that producers don't seem to do any research into mental illness before writing their script? It is rather disappointing that in this day and age, producers of yoruba films still expect us to believe that people can just run mad suddenly!!!
Well, we are supposed to believe it is juju working, but they should at least look at how the illness presents rather than using the layman's idea of a mad person.
It is not very plausible and i find it quite irritating.

Mental illness is no joke and it is irresponsible for producers to try and make comedy out of it.

My dear girl,very few of our writers do any sort of research before writing any kind of story.It is too much work!
Why do you think that the storylines are so poor and cerebrally uninspiring?

Its a shame though, but I suppose it's too much to expect from them in the race to make as much kudi as possible.
