A PhD in law with schizophrenia, Elyn Saks wrote “The Center Cannot Hold” about her experiences with schizophrenia. In this video here she talks about her study on high functioning schizophrenics.
I love Saks’ speech on TED, too. I read her book, liked that. Her work into barring the use of restraints on mental patients is much needed, too, and she wrote a book on that, "Refusing Care."
She’s a role model to me!
EDIT: how did you all embed the video itself? I put it in a link, but where is the button to embed the actual video? Sorry, I can’t figure out how to embed the actual video, you’ll have to follow the youtube link.
Perhaps you’ve embedded a “long” link. Please try to remove the “tails” of the links, all these: “&index=…”, “&list=…”, “&feature=related…”, “&player=embedded…”, they are not needed. Just that after the “watch?v=”.
(It may be a simple commercial advertising of cheese. In this case, I’m sorry. But I think it’s a good short movie, relating to each of us, showing that we have to fight. Fight with the mental disorder.)

He is a Czech artist, an a surrealist, even the 1970s.
'Tis a short film in which he voiced prelude of I.S. Bach, Fantasia G moll.
I don’t know about others, but it is grand for me.
Allegory: we wandered in darkness, but we must moving towards the light.
