“What Schizophrenia Sounds Like”
For the last couple of weeks I have been looking up information about the mental illness, schizophrenia for a research project for my psychology class. During my research I found an interesting project that some scientists had put together called, “What Schizophrenia Sounds Like.” After interviewing many people with this illness the scientists compiled a short clip of what a schizophrenic might hear during an episode, or just day to day. I listened to this from my laptop speakers, not the recommended head phone approach (Which I’m glad that I did!) When I pressed play on this sound clip I instantly got chills and had to turn down the volume before proceeding. Honestly, it creeped me out to the point where I had to turn something funny on the TV to keep from weirding myself out. This sound clip really is interesting. Have a listen!
I have always been really intrigued as to what the sensation or what it physically is like to be schizophrenic. The hallucinations, voices, etc…..If this is truly anything like what it really is like….
FUCK THAT….
I remember a therapist talking about having a recording of something like this with him, and he wanted to see how someone like that would do going to a restaurant and ordering food. So he had the recording play in his ears while he went to his local restaurant and ordered food. He had incredible difficulty because he was so distracted by the recording.
This was so interesting to me. As a Psych major, I always about what people hear with Schizophrenia. Very creepy. I couldn’t imagine having such voices in my head.
