I don't know about you but I never really knew much about Schizophrenia or how badly it could effect someones life. I'm sure most of us have seen some of the classic movies depicting characters suffering from Schizophrenia. Such as A beautiful mind, shutter island, PI and The Fisher King just to name a few. Some of them are quite frightening but I don't think it ever gave me a good handle or what exactly it would be like to suffer from something like this. So I did a little bit of looking around and I found this video on youtube that gives you a brief glimpse into the mind of someone that has to deal with auditory hallucinations.
Use a headset if you have one for the full effect!
After listening to that I could not even begin to imagine trying to hold up a normal conversation with someone, let alone function properly and it really brought me to respect those suffering from Schizophrenia and all mental illnesses. You have to remember as well that it is not only auditory hallucinations, people with Schizophrenia often have trouble telling what is real and what is not. It is a very complex disorder that could only cause minor problems or it could be full blown causing auditory and visual hallucinations along with paranoia and violent tendencies.
So tell me what do you think about disorders and illnesses having to do with the mind. Do you think you could cope with voices such as those in the video? Do you know someone who suffers from Schizophrenia? I hope if you ever thought that hearing voices might be cool, that you will realize there is nothing cool about it at all.
