The seventh department
I often meet people who know exactly what is good and right, and most importantly - what is normal. In my opinion, a big mistake to judge the norm on the principle of its own typicality. Thornness and restraint in judgments - this is the key to the strangest natures.
The seventh department of the psychiatric hospital named after Kashchenko is the male branch of the first episode. Here are patients who mainly suffer from schizophrenia and schizophrenic spectrum disorders with a long time of a disease of less than 5 years.
Schizophrenia is a young disease, so most children here are from 18 to 25 years old, many of them are not treated for the first time. According to statistics, in the first 5 years, the disease “recover” no more than 25-30% of patients, and the rest, despite the adequately conducted supporting therapy, suffer from relapse and continue to experience the negative consequences of the disease.
This story to some extent about oddity and more about alienation. If your thoughts or behavior differ from the generally accepted, then the “normal” majority will always perceive it as something bad or crazy. And, perhaps, the only way out is the removal from reality that does not satisfy you and flight into illness. In fact, the fact that we usually consider someone else's strangeness is just a lack of our own experience and imagination. Strangeness is a set of elusive sensations that cannot be described, explained and even fixed. Except for certain points.
