a doctor would rather than pick up an axe and kill somebody if you quit your. mind if you know most of our patients all go to the same ward first and then we separate them based on their condition just as we are the ward has small rooms and it's mostly for patients who are grass oath or prone to escaping with a minimum. i got up late today. being shy. and. i killed this guy called. after that it happened we then went to my friend's place he said do you know that we have three dead bodies or.

9:35 am
i'm a good person now it's only the beginning i'm just starting to smooth the edges i'm starting to come out of this and see that i can actually achieve something you know and i will have to support my mom at some point. what can we achieve through art therapy at least they can start drawing this will help them analyze themselves a little bit and relax at the same time they can be one on one with themselves and with their drawings and emotion is like a battery without these batteries are patients don't want to do anything there are some who are already in a state where they just want to stay in bed and don't want to do anything it's what they did to them and there's a mentally retarded patients who learned how to live in the streets and i think that if a person is suffering he has to be helped. in nine hundred eighty nine i was totally insane. i had no money. money to drugs.
9:36 am
once i stole a huge icon that was three hundred years old. someone was going to pay me a lot of money for it. but i was so scared. that i had to give it away for free. i ran into a church and asked them to take it from a. couldn't keep hold of it anymore. three months later i went back to the church it was easter. the head priest wasn't there so i talked to his assistant. i asked him if he knew about the i call them that i brought to the church. i wanted to know where he was and if i could say that. he said show you can see him. my mom once jokingly said that i had been conceived by the devil. has become an obsession with who i was constantly thinking about being the devil's offspring with schizophrenia . i learnt that the devil could fly into a church. but spirit. would not let him into the sanctuary.
9:37 am
the priest told me that the icon was in the sanctuary and that i could go and see. that was the first time i felt free from this cus of being conceived by the devil q . how do we call mentally ill people but soon patients sick people's you create mad men psychos once acceptable and once on except. the by trying to talk about their victims or relatives of their victims or their crime goes i use the term problematic people at that and yes problematic mainly for themselves. and my final goal is to treat them humanely. i want them to realize they're human.
9:38 am
how can you socialize business how can you be a normal person and consider yourself a normal person just nobody treats you like an old person it's a vicious circle. myself so when i first started my own therapy course with them i had no previous experience with these kinds of people continue to perception was i saw people with tattoos they were scary and maybe about time i was afraid you'll see my spouse does it talk to them about perspective and i would draw something simple symptoms humility first results just shocks me just to know each one of the injury himself and the missiles they were supposed to draw the person sitting opposite but there was no resemblance everyone was drawing themselves up but i try my best not to offend them. because you know artists can easily be heard as a gamble i still remember that my professors would often hurt me.
9:39 am
there's no scores in winter stand that our are patients. quite dangerous. will trash a nicer side and treat them of course we should be on alert but there's no way to cure someone who is aggressive and potentially dangerous we should at least hold him in the institution and protect society this is also very important for every six months we gather committee examiner patients and determine whether they are still a danger to society. move many patients know that their recruitment isn't over. and they need to stay in a hospital in the mission when they take our meetings calmly but of course most of them hope to get out of here with. what you were his name is rush eat

9:44 am
thus there had always compressed serious thirteen years social peace to people fall for the. limit. to. sleep. oh yeah. he says he was cut down to know you score a. score of fifteen or so more your style than i do species can we for shit think. that's where you are and you saw us here. so yourself if. you really would you you would you know it we have to think you know what it was away for sure. or.
9:45 am
are it. this is an open war all rooms are permanently unlocked and most of critics smoking is only allowed in the specially designated areas because you can see the patients aren't allowed to keep any sharp items. alcohol is forbidden to get their allowed to serve the internet but only in the presence of a counselor or therapist and is generally advisable not to tell them what they're not allowed to do is useful when you know it's better to tell them what they can do which are made pretty much figured out the rules from themselves. no because the medical staff are often exposed to aggression but then depends on what you see as
9:46 am
aggression what you might call verbal abuse is not uncommon with patients as an obscene adays or threats against the staff which and most of our patients are hard to tell from sane people from the look of them but sometimes a disorder may manifest itself through some sort of weird behavior. i've gotten used to looking at them as simply people it isn't hard i like my job and. the it. is. the borg.
9:47 am
dr been here a pretty long time since two thousand and six and one day some three or four months ago i'm walking down the street and i bump into a nurse from another ward and she says ok so you're still here as many of your friends who checked in around the same time as you have long been discharged and i tell her no i'm here for a long time and i think to myself i'm not ready i'm not ready i'm just beginning to understand. i don't want to just say mom i'm sorry i want to earn her forgiveness i want to prove myself so that people will start telling my mom natasha we are proud of your son. you understand i want my former junkie friends to look at me and say wow that guy was one of us but now. moved on he's accomplished some things go to. most were allowed one phone call
9:48 am
a month and i call my mom every time she sounds a bit different a bit older i'm shaking all over afterwards mom comes to visit me here and i count every line on her face i gave her those notes and i see myself and heard she looks at me affectionately but they are tears in her eyes and that's because of me and so i absorb all of this as an artist and i'm consumed by an inner struggle the virtues and vices battling inside me. at first i lost sleep. and then i was beginning to get lost within an imaginary world that was all around me. it was absolutely unreal. and there was no place in it for other people. i had a feeling of impunity of my own significance and superiority to absolutely anyone including people nature in society anything. but my environment at the time of the
9:49 am
certainly has something to do with it i was julie pretty naive at that age. somebody suggested to me once you're such a genius so why don't you try making drugs. and so i synthesize and that it means at age fourteen. it was just a matter of knowledge skill and practice i could produce practically any substance and almost no touch with reality encapsulated within a world of my own people and nothing to me there was just a sense of me. and so it happened that a committed four murders. three of those cases were just junkies with the i gave them a lethal injection while they thought that they were getting high. but the fourth one was violent i stab someone. that's how high i was already i mean i thought i was high but in reality i was going down sinking into the abyss
9:50 am
but with you i was immersed in madness. that was a scary scary state of mind you don't want to ever find yourself in such a realm of insanity there's just the cold and the darkness. my mom sent me a photograph she said their having a silver anniversary with debt. so i started thinking of something to paint for them i decided to paint a full length portrait of my parents on this campus. so here's my head. this is my ear and there inside my head my mom here is like a rose this leaf here is my younger brother i'm the elder brother so i'm protecting our little sister and this is mom with the ring my dad is the chill of. years and this is me a small crater in a dark world and i want to create a colorful world for them the moment. i paint you could paint
9:51 am
a black square and she just say my son did this. sometimes i feel like i have a grievance against the creator. even now i ask him why why is it that i never had any love. now i know where my disease comes from so i miss my crimes and my alcohol and drug addiction. it all springs from me not being loved ever since i was a child. i made up a sighing but i know it sounds quite scary basically but there was a time when it overwhelmed me because like this i love the world in general but i hate everyone individually that i did to find my life i'm an anonymous alcoholic and an anonymous drug addict i know what addiction is but my illness feels greater
9:52 am
than any of that drugs you have to find alcohol you. off the drink but that doesn't require anything the beams like a rainbow you get a surge of energy it gives you such a rush you don't even need to take anything to get beautiful my so. i can do anything. you know because there's no i admit. that i'm sick. i acknowledged the gravity of my crimes. i spent twenty years incarcerated and every time we got on scene i couldn't understand why what's happened to. my baby who's just been. because it was only now discovering love kindness. forty five i only just realised what love for my father as you
9:53 am
now really. yes i feel his love for. this patient comes across as an almost totally same person but he's a very good actor we is psychiatry can see that in fact he is very emotionally distant his facial expression is a mobile although he speaks according to classic standards of literary language but those who suffer from schizophrenia typically have no speaking disorder in other words schizophrenia implies a dissociated entity a schism of the mind but only someone who is very intelligent can become a schizo frantic please remember that all of these people receive treatment but outside the hospital as a rule they're pretty much beyond any control they don't take any medication
9:54 am
prescribed to them at all or stop taking them after some times. yes. i look forward to her every visit when she talks to me on the phone i tell her not to come but when she's here it feels so good so wonderful to give her a hug. but when she leaves the sadness the pain starts again. you just drift around with nothing to do. it makes are sad as well how long a shipping coming here she does everything just to be able to see me. but for a whole long list last. i've told her
9:55 am
so many times to stop coming to i'm upset that it takes her so long in the past she had to take the train to get here. hello. my little boy this is for you five roses as there are five of us in the family. your mom loves you so much i brought you presents. and let mom see them. i've painted this picture for years oh this is for a silver anniversary here dad is that. it's like a crossword puzzle right and i'm the rose. this is. and this is probably you. here in the dark a little creator. time will tell. you that i'm ready and he'll do what's right. even when you apologize to someone or
9:56 am
