Greetings!
While you have some good information about schizophrenia in your outline, it reads like you are writing two different essays. If the main point of the paper is to describe Nash, you should start your essay writing about him, and about what a profound effect schizophrenia had on his life. From there, you can go into what the disease is, how it affects people, give examples of this from the movie, talk about treatment options, what Nash tried and why he stopped and conclude by reiterating what a difficult disease it is and what Nash's outcome was. If you follow your outline as is, I'm concerned that your essay will suffer its own form of schizophrenia! Make sure the parts where you write about the disease flow from and back into the main focus, which is the character in the movie.
I hope this helps!
