The Adderall Diaries

The emotional responses for 'The Adderall Diaries' are heavily skewed towards negative and introspective feelings, reflecting the protagonist's descent into substance abuse, mental instability, and unresolved personal traumas. High levels of **Anxiety**, **Sadness**, and **Melancholy** stem from Elliott's self-destructive behavior, his struggles with writer's block, and his fraught relationship with his father. The bizarre murder trial, with its unsettling confession and the protagonist's tenuous, chaotic connection to the events, elicits significant **Curiosity**, **Confusion**, and a sense of the **Disturbing**. While there's some **Empathy** for Elliott's struggles, this is often tempered by **Anger** or **Disgust** at his self-indulgent and narcissistic tendencies. The film's 'scattered' nature and lack of clear resolution contribute to a low sense of satisfaction or hope.
