Homeland: Paean to the People (2018)
Episode 12, Season 7
Misportrayal of mental illness

Actually, severe cases of bipolar disorder can result in psychosis. Research indicates that bipolar and schizophrenia are related. There is also a schizoaffective disorder, a combination of schizophrenia and a mood disorder. Regardless of how mental illness is portrayed otherwise in Homeland, the psychosis bit is correct.
Anyways... So, I agree with what others have said about the finale of this season being underwhelming. Too much 'OK USA' and cramming in every storyline in as little time as possible. Wouldn't it be a good cliffhanger to end with a few glimpses of Carrie in her cell, concluding with a horrible scream as her situation and illness take a hold of her?
