A Study of Schizophrenia
The ProjectFor this project, I chose to focus on Schizophrenia. It involves hallucinations and disorderly behavior due to synapse disconnections. I had the opportunity to go to the Salk Institute where this disorder was being studied. My partner and I created a case report, wrote creative stories, and developed an art therapy lesson surrounding this disorder.

The TakeawayMy work during the mental heath project gave me a more wholesome understanding of one of the most stigmatized disorder. I had do look at Schizophrenia from medical, personal, and therapeutic perspectives. I was challenged to keep an open mind and accurately represent something I was previously unfamiliar with,.

The ExhibitionExhibition was both the most challenging and most exciting part of this project. I presented at school and at another project-based learning school. I was proud of the products and decorations my partner and I put together. In presenting, we had to determine what was working and what wasn't between each visitor. We made sure to share the air and learned from each others way of explaining the topics.
