talk about schizophrenia

I re­mem­ber go­ing to a work­shop when I was work­ing at the cri­sis house in Wood­land, California. 

One of the ex­er­cis­es was sim­i­lar to what is in this video, only with peo­ple from the group: 

They split us up into small­er groups of four, with one per­son fac­ing you, and the oth­er two peo­ple on ei­ther side of you. You were sup­posed to have a con­ver­sa­tion with the per­son in front of you while the peo­ple be­side you were whis­per­ing things from a script. 

It was the most dis­tract­ing, dif­fi­cult, and chill­ing ex­er­cise I have ever done in my life. And while I al­ready had ba­sic em­pa­thy for my clients with schiz­o­phre­nia, af­ter that day I def­i­nite­ly un­der­stood them bet­ter and was even more pa­tient than usual.

This sim­u­la­tor sounds like a re­al­ly ef­fec­tive way to help peo­ple un­der­stand what that’s like. I hope more of these kinds of ex­er­cis­es are put into the main­stream so that in­stead of stig­ma­tiz­ing the var­i­ous men­tal ill­ness­es out there, we can bet­ter un­der­stand the ex­pe­ri­ence, and help our friends, fam­i­lies, and co-work­ers who might be struggling.
