What Schizophrenia Does
A 20th-century artist, Louis Wain, who was fascinated by cats, painted these pictures over a period of time in which he developed schizophrenia. The pictures mark progressive stages in the illness and exemplify what it does to the victim's perception.

    If I’m not wrong (i’m too lazy to Google), it actually turns everything around you ‘evil’, so it creates a very scary environment for the person suffering from schizophrenia which in turn, turns him really really violent.
