Are there any books that at least somewhat describe schizophrenia?

None whatsoever

>>8172783
DSM

Memoirs of my nervous illness - Schreber

>>8172783
Deleuze and Guattari.

tl'dr "Schizophrenia is cool, man! What if, like, we're all connected but schizo too? Oh, yeah, groovy, everybody be schizoprenic!"

It's what academia has become.

The Bell Jar and One Flew over the Cuckoos nest do it well enough

I didn't know my dad dad a brother until I was 19. he died in a mental asylum due to schizo. Its not cool, and hopefully I don't have it either. 5 more years of minimum symptoms and I'm in the clear.

WE WAS RHIZHOMES AND SHIEEEET

It's worse because Deleuze in private said he hated schizophrenics. Most disgusting exploitative philosophy.

As a schizo, I recommend VALIS.

Verlaine

Was Schizo himself but wrote about melabcholia.

D+G didn't exploit or make light of schizophrenia or advocate it as a "lifestyle" as people who haven't read them think; they took it seriously as a part of mental and political life. And Deleuze said that when he was at Guattari's weird anarchist commune where any ordinary person would feel uncomfortable.

Johnny the homicidal maniac is a comic book. The main character could pass for being schizophrenic. However, as a psychologist, I really don't know any normal books dealing with it (but I am not that well-educated concerning personality disorders... I am specialised in ocd, phobias, etc)

Thank you. I know it's no big deal to write such a post in response to ignorance/bait, but I really appreciate you taking the time to reassure me that there are still decent people on /lit/.

>>8172783
Check out RD Laing

>but I am not that well-educated concerning personality disorders
Obviously not since schizophrenia isn't even a fucking personality disorder

Youtube "crazy homeless person". I'm pretty sure you'll see a lot of schizophrenics.

Also, check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEnklxGAmak for a fun schizophrenia lecture.

No they didn't. The same way you don't use the Holocaust as an example.

> And Deleuze said that when he was at Guattari's weird anarchist commune where any ordinary person would feel uncomfortable.

A schizo started setting shit on fire and making a scene and it really bothered Deleuze and he told Guattari, "How can like you those freaks?" (in french, of course)

> D+G didn't exploit or make light of schizophrenia or advocate it as a "lifestyle" as people who haven't read them think

Yes they did. Schizophrenia is literally their model for resistance.

Deleuze is cancer.

Well, jesus christ, if a retard started setting shit on fire, would YOU like him?
