Schizophrenia.

The worst among all the other psychotic disorders.

Maybe the most complex point a human brain can reach.

Not knowing what’s real, not being aware of the disease.

Claiming what is seen to be concrete, not accepting the disease.

The list goes on, but we could never understand what’s happening in their brain. Not even 10% of it.

Until people who are suffering from Schizophrenia drew their concrete reality and other beings in their minds.
