- R. D. Laing

About this Quote

This quote by R. D. Laing speaks with the intricacy of schizophrenia and the need to understand the anguish that often accompanies it. Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that affects how an individual thinks, feels, and behaves. It is identified by hallucinations, deceptions, and messy thinking. While the exact cause of schizophrenia is unknown, it is believed to be a combination of genetic and ecological elements. While the signs of schizophrenia can be handled with medication and therapy, the misery that typically accompanies it is typically overlooked. This misery can manifest itself in feelings of hopelessness, seclusion, and fear. By comprehending the despair that accompanies schizophrenia, we can better understand the condition and supply more effective treatment. Eventually, this quote works as a suggestion that we must take a holistic technique to understanding and treating schizophrenia, one that takes into account the anguish that often accompanies it.
