Brian Wilson is the famous member of the band “Beach Boys” who developed schizophrenia.
“Wilson suffers from auditory hallucinations, and has been formally diagnosed as mildly manic-depressive with schizoaffective disorder that presents itself in the form of disembodied voices. According to him, he only began having hallucinations in 1965 shortly after experimenting with psychedelic drugs. In recent years, Wilson’s mental condition has improved. Although he still experiences auditory hallucinations from time to time, his relationship with his wife and his new regimen of psychiatric care have allowed him to resume his career as a musician.”
There is a new movie about him.
