Schizophrenia and writing

Being diagnosed with schizophrenia means you have split mind. It’s not a fun thing to be diagnosed with (as if any diagnose is fun) but it’s definitely not lethal as HIV or cancer.

Split mind is like being able to think for the other side, if you play chess.

Split mins is also like being one man theater. You have narratives from different perspectives you can use on stage or in writing a novel for example.

Great author Ron L. Hubbard suffered from Schizophrenia paranoia. He didn’t like psychologists his entire life for labeling him this. He created Scientology as answer to it.

John Forbes Nash Jr. is also known to have been diagnosed with Schizophrenia and Hollywood has dedicated a movie to his work called “A Beautiful Mind” with Russel Crow playing the leading role.

There were many talented people with diagnosis, so it’s not the end of the world. Although the public is yet uneducated in the matter, they are more accepting than ever before.

Writing surely helps with this condition, as a therapy and as a clear way of thinking. Art of any kind helps in fact. While I’m not a doctor by any measure, but I was diagnosed with this condition as well. So I speak first hand. I am an author of 36 books. One software program and numerous poems and posts across the web.

Here is one my latest works I’d be happy if you purchase:

Also I would be happy if you’d subscribed to my newsletter to follow my beginnings:
