I wanted to start a psych thread so here...to start off here is an interesting page. I've allways thopught it was interesting how this guys artwork was affected by his schizophrenia...resembles some of the shit I draw on LSD Ahem anyways uhh...I've allways wondered what its like to be schizophrenic...just to have the weird mental cognition.

I like the way he changes his focus from drawing the scenes to drawing individual cats then the cats changing from normal to psychotic looking to abstract to totally distorted

So what fascinates you guys about psychology?

Psychology or also psychiatry,,

Because I am a Looney (

Seriously an excellent topic,, Now I shall think all day at work.

Most of our greatest Minds had some sort of disease or psychiatric disease as well,,
without this how would have Miguel DeCervantes wrote Don Quiote,,
or better yet PINK FLOYYD
Artist of Screams starts with an M,, I think Muncken (forget)

are they haunted or inspired by their manifested dreams or realities?????

are they haunted or inspired by their manifested dreams or realities?????

I'd say both...there is obviously hardships with mental disorders but also look at what type of art they can produce...they may not realize the inspiration for what it is but it is there. Art is expression.

Gotta say Xan that psych is fascinating! How the human mind works or fails to is amazing.

I think that when the mind is damaged somehow through trauma or chemicals it causes changes that can be utilized to great advantage for extreme good, or evil.

When I was young, I had a fever where I used to hallucianate that people were shouting at me, or that there were very loud noises present. I used to have these really weird, scary dreams, where my mind was just floating. Then I'd wake up with this loud noise in my head that wasn't really there. One time, I woke up in the middle of the night, groping around for the volume knob on my CD player, trying to turn down this really loud music that wasn't playing. My mind and senses were playing tricks on me. I thought it was really strange.

The last time I got that was some time last year. It was the first time I'd had the dream and hallucinations in about five years. When I was young, it was aweful. I think it's normal for people to hallucinate or have weird dreams when they're feverish though, isn't it?


I love psychology. I find it really interesting and I think I might elect it as a subject next year, when I'm in year eleven.
I once read this book about how people use body language to communicate to those around them. Very interesting stuff. I learnt alot from that book.
