What does the world look like if seen through the eyes of a mentally ill person?

I guess that would depend on which mental health issue you were referring to and if they are treating their mental health issues.


A paranoid schizophrenic must view the world as a very terrifying place overall. The continuous feelings of fear and persecution must be a living hell.


Someone who is in a manic phase believes that the world is so full of possibilities that it becomes overwhelming, an unrealistic sense of hope and choices. (Not saying they make the best choices or limit them).


Someone who is in a severe state of depression likely has a negative, hopeless and helpless view of the world.


Visual and auditory hallucinations can create a distorted and frightening view of the world. It also creates great frustration as these things can be very real to the person and they develop a need to defend their reality.


If, in therapy and on effective medications, they view the world as ';normal'; people (another relative term).

Very different, scary, unfamiliar, and challenging.





Sometimes, you try to do all you can for them, but all too often--they go without help or support.





And it just makes things worse for them and the rest of society.
