Line 12:
It's called schizophrenia because some abilities are impaired, but not all. The Brotherhood of the Cold Sun doesn't want people to know the other symptoms of schizophrenia so we will all be docile after the sun has been blocked. Also, a diagnosis of schizophrenia requires that the disturbed functioning persist for at least six months; in real life, it is impossible for a doctor to take one look at someone and instantly diagnose them as schizophrenic. In fiction, however, it happens all the time.
The Brotherhood of the Cold Sun has not infiltrated all the dramas and medical shows, and such shows are often more accurate; but most will show schizophrenics in recovery with horrible medications that are depicted as being worse than the illness. Antipsychotic medication is heavy-duty stuff, but things have improved since Thorazine. Today there are newer, gentler medications and ways to work around side
Not every [[Conspiracy Theorist]] is schizophrenic. [[Overly Long Gag|The Brotherhood of the Cold Sun just wants you to think that.]] Fear the night!

== [[Film]] ==
* In ''[[12 Monkeys]]'', [[Brad Pitt]] plays a paranoid schizophrenic, while [[Bruce Willis
** Additionally most of the other patients at the hospital [[Bruce Willis
* Used in the movie ''Conspiracy Theory''. As it turns out, [[Properly Paranoid|everything the seemingly paranoid schizophrenic says is true]].
Line 36:
* Boyd Cooper from ''[[Psychonauts]]''? His mind was a...nice...''normal...neighborhood...'' except no, oh no. Streets were twisted, and if you stood in one place, cameras popped up from parking meters and took pictures, and the only inhabitants were either the Rainbow Squirts, {{spoiler|girl scouts who were behind the conspiracy,}} and the G-Men, men with red eyes, green skin and long, brown trench coats, who tried to figure out the conspiracy. {{spoiler|And the level didn't end with you curing his sick, sick mind, but ''unleashing'' his psycho pyromaniac alter ego so that he would unlock the gate to the mental asylum. And then burn the asylum to the ground.}}
** He got better after tossing his last Molotov.
{{quote|
* The protagonist of the [[Show Within a Show|television show]] ''Address Unknown'' in ''[[Max Payne 2]]'' is diagnosed as "paranoid schizophrenic" allegedly caused by a brain tumor. Or as least, [[Unreliable Narrator|our protagonist]] says this happens.
* In ''[[Portal 2]]: Lab Rat'', a companion comic to the game, Aperture Science researcher Douglas Rattman has this type of schizophrenia. Without medication, he experiences delusions such as that his [[Companion Cube]] is talking to him and that the AI [[Master Computer]] in charge of the laboratory is out to kill him. Of course, the latter is [[Properly Paranoid|actually true]], which allows him to be the sole survivor of GLaDOS' purge of the scientists. Hidden away, he manipulates the system to put protagonist Chell into a position to enact the events of the two games.
