Rachel Aviv, an award-winning mental health journalist, has a fascinating piece following a woman diagnosed with schizophrenia in the latest issue of Harper's (subscription required).
Here are the opening sentences:
Anna did not simply decide one day that people are made of paper. She came to the conclusion slowly and reluctantly, several months after she first noticed that the consistency of everything around her had subtly changed.
Although I do not agree with all of the points Aviv makes, her writing is compelling and the article is well-worth reading and reflecting upon.
