The Mind Of A Schizophrenic

Schizophrenia is one of the most misunderstood and frightening mental illnesses. People afflicted with this disease often experience frightening auditory, visual, and tactile hallucinations that make it very difficult for them to separate fiction from reality. One schizophrenic patient’s disturbing thoughts were captured in the picture above. This is the last drawing this patient ever made, and it depicts a terrifying, ghostly figure appearing to scream as it emerges from the darkness. We can only imagine the types of nightmares that must have haunted this person during their years on this Earth.
