A JOURNEY FROM DISORDER TO DESIGN

Schizophrenia is outwardly one of the most man-handed, stigmatized & misunderstood psychological disorders that exist in this world. Although it is a wide-ranging psychological syndrome, there is a misunderstanding where people would assume that it is the disease that causes all these extreme behaviors, like retarded, vague, personality-disorder etc. There are different types which consist of all the diverse in the behavioral symptoms and diverse physical characteristics., including the subtypes, like fanatical, chaotic, rigid, residual which often triggers the patient to get delusional thoughts and images, especially about persecution. This mental disorder is caused by different factors. In this research work, I tried to show awareness about this illness, and also the beauty of Schizophrenic patient's feelings, to express themselves in the form of art. This is shown through the painting and photo manipulation in Adobe Photoshop. Usually, they are out of the world so the sights they experience is the things that don't exist. In this research work, the work has done to show the visions, a schizophrenia patient experiences and to promote art therapy and art forms.
