medication is not the only of treatment for schizophrenia.

Not true actually. Once treated, a schizophrenic actually looses some of their creativity due to the medications, and some full out lose the drive to create. When untreated, a person needs an outlet and many will turn to art.

Interesting, and quite familiar. I'm a commercial artist, and slowly developed schizophrenia until the symptoms became disabling. I looked back and you can see the change in the creative outlook in my art as well, but not to this extreme.

to lunnifer, excuse me, but do you know what a schizophrenic is ? schizophrenia is deeper than just how things look like ! they did not explain the process in this video. they just showed an interesting symptom. and I like his works... but I never wish to be in his place !

i make a difference between psychosis and schizophrenia. psychosis usually lasts for roughly about 6 weeks - and may occur only once in a lifetime (usually an indication of a sensitive and creative mind). schizophrenia includes a lot more than just psychosis, the hallucinations, delusions and all that jazz. it comes with many other symptoms depending on the subtype of schizophrenia. ok - i don't mean to be a wise ass, but to me there's a lot of generalization in here.

Is it bad if the final painting (2:05) still somewhat looks like a cat to me.
