On ABC's 20/20 in 2000 they did a special on schizophrenia. They discribed this as a person with a tormented mine who gets worse at night. They said that they had voices inside of their heads that could be triggered by almost anything such as religious symbols, music, or even video games. These voices are negative and speak directly to them telling them to hurt themselves or other people. They can also see visions but the causes are mostly unknown. They said that women are most often affected by this. One out of ten are drivin to suicide because of auditory voices.
I chose this because it is a serious topic that is more common than I thought. It almost seems scary because there isn't really a known cause so it could happen to anyone. This relates to the book because it talked about the hallucinations and odd behavior. It is in chapter 14, section eight under schizophrenia.
