ngl I'd love to read what's brewing inside schizophrenic's head


In my experience not everyone with schizophrenia / a schizoaffective disorder is able to communicate their experience very well, but some of them have published content about it and it can be quite a fascinating research subject.

I'm not aware of any articles myself, only videos, but if you're open to that I have a few recommendations that you could start with.

My favorite example would probably be this interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GU8VmJsX6-s

It may also be worth checking this one out, which is a review of various "schizophrenia simulations" (in other words, depictions): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60n7ZP3Cj-4

There are also videos that aren't necessarily credible sources, but that I find thought-provoking regardless. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHuFSnhKG9I

I don't have schizophrenia myself, but I have DID and a few other mental illnesses, so the topic of mental illness in general is particularly interesting to me. Learning about others' experiences can teach me things about myself, too.
