I Have a Family Member With Schizophrenia

[c=#7700B2]As some people know here, My brother has schizophrenia and one of the biggest symptoms he has said he suffers with is hearing lots of voices all the time. I could never even imagine what that must be like but for a little while now at work a few people told me about a video game that was made about a girl that is implied is suffering with schizophrenia and it was created in collaboration with neuroscientists and people who experience psychosis.

I played this game today for about 40 minutes and it was honestly terrifying. I was told to play it with headphones on and in doing so it makes it like some voices are coming from all angles around you and it truly like someone is yelling at you or talking about you from behind.

If this is just a taste of what someone who is experiencing psychosis must feel like, im truly sorry anyone has to go through with it. I don't know how anyone can function like that.

If anything also this might help with my job, you know a tiny little bit of better understanding and all. Just wanna give my brother a big hug now :([/c]

I have a sister who is schitzophrenic and though im not schitzophrenic myself i have experienced pyschosis before and it is horrible. You see what it is like for him now. They have to put up with so much. Their mind must be a scary confusing place. I hope your brother is on the right medication for him and doing ok.
