Psychosis

Caption: Depicted in the art of Amber Christian Osterhout, schizophrenia is a complex mental disorder that makes it difficult to distinguish between real and unreal experience, think logically, have normal emotional responses, and behave normally in social situations. Psychosis (pictured above) by Amber Christian Osterhout is part of an art exhibit titled Gaining Insight designed to educate others about the reality of mental illness.
