Famous Faces of Schizophrenia

This short slide-show video is a lead-in for one of my school presentations on schizophrenia. Most people are not aware that they know of any schizophrenics, so this video is an attempt to personalize the presentation for my audience and allow them to identify to some of the people presented.

@eallik The piece is called Dark Walk, and is composed by Kevin MacLeod. (It's in the credits at the end of the video.)

People with schisophrenia and bipolar disorder are naturally intelligent. They experiance strong and powerful emotions combined with their superb intellect because their brain is extremely developed and they have a higher perception of the world around them. But there is always comming from psychiatry that these are serious disorders and people with this condition fill frustrated and ashamed of having it. No one tells them that they are are extremely inteligent and gifted.

@TheChembalin Actually, my presentation that this was the opening for spoke on this very topic. It mentioned how the majority of schizophrenics are far above normal intelligence on various intelligence rating scales. Personally, I don't believe schizophrenia is something to be ashamed of. Additionally, it i mostly western society that looks at schizophrenics as sick; in many cultures, schizophrenics were looked at as shamans and spiritual leaders; direct conduits to the gods.

They say I have a 89 IQ but yet. But yet I've aced everything until a collage level but math with a 7th grade education. Coded many programs, Learned almost fluent German in 3 months. And can build custom PC's in 10 mins. I have no clue how they measure your IQ. But something doesn't seem right there.

@RhythmOfHeaven I have first hand axperiance. What do you have ?! Just a bunch of memorized theories and claims of meer (humans) who dont really undersand the brain, just speculate. I have seen how psychiatrists have ruined peoples lives. People severely damaged by psychiatric drugs. Who am I?! Im a person damaged by doctors. Thats who am I. Your words meen NOTHING to me. Once, like many others naive souls, trusted people like you and found out that you are all just a bucket full of bullshit.
