Armchair World: Treating Personality Disorders Schizophrenia - Are We on the Same Bus? At the heart of what we are lies two intersecting concepts: how we see ourselves and how we relate to the world around us. These concepts are dependent on shared beliefs. I know who I am. The world (or that group that cares) knows who I am. In fact we agree on most things, e.g. the color of the sky, to say hello when we see people we know, etc. What happens if either the world or I disagree on the shared beliefs (this does not suggest that we cannot disagree on minor issues such as salary and who is responsible for the household chores)? Well, I for one would be very unhappy. My family would also be unhappy and the world would wonder what to do with me. Now let me magnify the disagreement to the point that I experience an entire body of events that the world around me cannot hear, see, touch or smell. The unhappiness increases exponentially and the world's confusion will reach such a state that, well, the people around me will throw up their hands and call it an illness. Schizophrenia is an illness that in its severe form robs the victim of both sense of self and connectiveness to the world. Of all the mental illnesses only this one can steal one's humanity.
