Schizophrenia: artwork of brain and paintings
Schizophrenia. Illustration of the limbic system in a human brain - the area thought to be damaged in schizophrenia - surrounded by images of despair and madness by famous artists. In the top left is Despair by Michelangelo, in which a tormented soul is dragged to hell by demons. At lower left is The Scream by Munch. In the top right are two pictures of a cat by the schizophrenic artist Louis Wain, whose work grew increasingly abstract as his illness progressed. At lower right is a nerve cell synapse with neurotransmitters (red dots).

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Schizophrenia: Artwork of Brain and Paintings" offers a thought-provoking visual representation of the complex mental disorder. The central focus is an illustration of the limbic system, believed to be damaged in individuals with schizophrenia. Surrounding this depiction are powerful images by renowned artists that convey despair and madness. In the top left corner, Michelangelo's "Despair" portrays a tormented soul being dragged into hell by demons, symbolizing the anguish experienced by those afflicted with schizophrenia. Adjacent to it, Edvard Munch's iconic painting "The Scream" evokes intense emotional distress and captures the inner turmoil often associated with this condition. On the top right side, we find two abstract cat paintings created by Louis Wain, an artist who suffered from schizophrenia himself. These artworks reflect how his illness progressively influenced his artistic style towards abstraction. Completing this composition is a depiction of a nerve cell synapse with red dots representing neurotransmitters - highlighting the biological aspect underlying schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a common psychotic illness characterized by paranoid delusions, auditory hallucinations (inner voices), depression, and personality changes. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder of its impact on individuals' lives while also emphasizing the importance of understanding mental health conditions like these. This print from Science Photo Library provides viewers with an opportunity to explore both artistry and science in unraveling the complexities surrounding schizophrenia – bridging gaps between medicine, psychology, and creativity.
