Are there any characters you’ve seen in books or on TV that you think have schizophrenia? For me I interpreted Francis dolarhyde from red dragon/hannibal to be schizophrenic even though the author has never confirmed it. The fact that he gets command hallucinations, has delusions that he has wings and a tail, and hears a painting talking/yelling at him reminds me of schizophrenia.

Off the top of my head, and my personal 2 favourite heros;
Vincent Van Gogh and Tupac Shakur.

Can I ask why? I’m interested in hearing this
Both Vincent and Tupac spent time in isolation where they developed most of their work, leading up to the final years of their lives.
(Vincent being in a mental hospital and Tupac being in prison)
Vincent was always judgemental and always thought he was a burden to his brother, who took care of him.
Tupac always talked about death, and was completly paranoid of death and being killed.
(Alot of his music he raps about dying)
There are many other factors, but I wont get into them.
