Hey! How’re you doing? :) I was wondering - how do you feel about how schizophrenia is portrayed in fiction? And would you read a novel about characters with schizophrenia, if it was written by someone who didn’t actually have the illness?

Hi! Thanks for writing to me. I haven’t read a huge amount of fiction relating to Schizophrenia. I guess in general anything written about mental instability so gets very dark in fiction. Being someone who has suffered a Psychosis it is both light and shade. It’s one of the most incredible experiences I have ever had in my life. It is so profound and enlightening and so frightening and tragic at the same time. It took me a long time to feel a whole being again and to trust my mind not to sway off into lalaland. I think sometimes what is written is just a bit simplified or trying to be shocking when actually it can just be such a small thing that is the difference between sanity and the insane. I think because it is different for everyone then yes even if you haven’t suffered from it I still believe you can write about it. I actually don’t have schizophrenia myself so I guess yes, I feel fine about it. I have spent time in a mental hospital , my aunty and my uncle had it and so yeah - I guess I know about it and have had my own demons. That doesn’t mean I will necessarily be able to communicate it as well as a good writer who just understands it. So go for it.

I hope that helps... feel free to write any time. :)
