* For that blog, CW for talk of delusions (and more, likely, as time goes on. I will update this list as needed). I will mark my posts for the appropriate warnings, but I won't filter myself in the post, so stay safe! *
Just discovered it’s National Schizophrenia Awareness Day!!
I have that!
So! Here’s some awareness from yours truly!!
We are people just like you
We are statistically more likely to be harmed than to do harm
Not all of us are overt, there’s a good chance you have talked to and maybe even been friends with a schizophrenic without knowing!
There’s more schizophrenia spectrum disorders than just schizophrenia, such as schizoaffective disorder or schizotypal personality disorder
“Schizo” is considered an offensive term by many schizophrenics and some even consider it a slur against us, if you aren’t schizospec yourself please try to avoid using it (as well as “psycho” for psychosis!)
Similarly, the recently common “quirky” online phrases “delulu”, “schizoposting”, “I’m so delusional” (without actually having a delusion), etc are also very offensive! We aren’t a joke!
Not all of us hallucinate or have delusions. There’s more symptoms than just those 2 and the schizophrenia diagnostic criteria doesn’t even necessarily require either of them to be present
We can sometimes know we’re having a delusion while still experiencing the delusion, it’s called double bookkeeping
We deserve rights and bodily autonomy (that includes to not be forcefully drugged and locked up without our consent!!!)
i dont get why ppl defend yunos writing, and why ppl still call what happened to her an "abortion". like. what. what? dude that was a miscarriage what
the thing is that we're told from the start that all of the prisoners are murderers. as we watch milgram we realize that not all of them have committed murder directly, but have still caused the death of someone by their own actions. kazui didn't kill hinako with his own hands, but you can still say he's partly responsible for her death, because if he hadn't lied to her for all those years, she wouldn't have killed herself when he cane out. same for mahiru. she didn't realize that she was being abusive to her boyfriend, it's true, but what her report card questions at the end is how exactly he was feeling as it all went down, implying that her inattention and neglection of his feelings while she continued to harm him pushed him to the edge. so she's still party responsible for his suicide, too.
but yuno. where tf is her agency? where? how can you compare those cases of indirect murder i just mentioned to a miscarriage? i do think that yuno as a person is well-written, she is a great character worth engaging with, but they fumbled her case completely. they should've made it something else. i don't see any "moral grayness" in her case. what am i even supposed to vote her guilty for? how can someone articulate an explanation as to why she should be voted guilty, when there isn't even anything to judge...? why is a teenage girl who miscarried in the same prison as a dude who killed 12 people??
i don't think any of the prisoners should be in milgram as in milgram the facility, we've seen over and over again that it doesn't help them one bit no matter what we vote. but yuno, with this specific case, just shouldn't be in milgram the story. just make it something else bro what are we doing
even if it was abortion, which i don't consider a crime, it would've made more sense, because it would have happened because of an action of hers, she would've had a choice, a say in the matter. and abortion is also a highly debatable and questionable subject. even if lots of people don't consider it murder, it's still criminalized in lots of countries. but by making her accidentally fall and have no agency on what happened you're just. man what.
also some people say "oh but she's in prison because they're all in there because they feel guilt☝🏻" but that's just a theory... and i get that she feels guilt and considers herself a murderer, not trying to dismiss her feelings, but i still don't get her presence in the story as is since there's. nothing to judge really. she didn't do anything... tripping is a crime i guess
another thing is mahiru's vd. it is in character that mahiru would unconsciously say something so insensitive like that to yuno as her last words ("i wanted to have a baby"), but damn was that an evil writing choice. milgram when they keep forcing this teenage girl who didn't even abort, just accidentally lost the baby, to feel more and more and more guilt over the fact that she fell down the stairs. like okay. mahiru's death only served to make yuno feel guilt over... not having the baby when other people wanted one so bad. even though she didn't even have the choice to keep it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

twitter showing me the worst possible post ever to piss me off wow thank you. literally someone quoting a person i already blocked too why am i seeing this. oh my god how DARE people enjoy fucked up toxic relationships it's problematic!!!!
ppl's obsession with morally rightness is turning them off from super interesting stuff and also making them lose their media comprehension bc they are immediately turned off by characters that are "bad" or relationships that are complicated and/or unhealthy. and then they refuse to look deeper into them bc of that belief that they're bad, and being bad is bad!!! even in fiction!!! can you tell im super pissed off
DRDT cast with schizospec and or psychotic disorders!!
notes:
- this is using a loose definition of both terms. disorders that present with psychotic features, or those that are considered schizospec for their relation to negative symptoms (ie. schizoid personality disorder and related terms), will be included.
- these are all just headcanons for fun, and not all of them will be based in canon content!
- spoilers for drdt backstories, and content warning for topics contained in those, but i try to keep it to a minimum
- below the read more will contain explicit references to delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, and other symptoms of these disorders. please proceed past that point with caution! everything before the section break will only be the list of disorders for each character
list:
Teruko Tawaki: Schizotypal Personality Disorder
Xander Matthews: PTSD with psychotic features
Charles Cuevas: PTSD with psychotic features
Ace Markey: Brief Psychotic Disorder
Arei Nageishi: Unspecified Personality Disorder with psychotic features
In-depth headcanons below (read the notes section before continuing):
Teruko Tawaki: Schizotypal Personality Disorder
- obsession with luck is magical thinking
- distrustful of everyone due to paranoia
- mistakes normal things for signs of danger
- (honestly schizotypal is very fitting for her outside of the purposes of this post but you didnt hear that from me)
Xander Matthews: PTSD with psychotic features
- primarily tactile and visual hallucinations, bodies on the ground grabbing at him (from his chariton trauma)
- went on adhd meds after seeing a therapist for his trauma, psychotic symptoms got worse so he went off of them and stopped therapy
- knows what he was experiencing now but is still nervous to go back
- would advocate for mental health resources either way but it's definitely more personal to him
Charles Cuevas: PTSD with psychotic features
- tactile and visual hallucinations that he offhands as normal bc he 1. was sheltered 2. doesnt like being vulnerable and 3. doesnt remember the trauma
- feels pain randomly, sees figures, lots of reminders of his trauma that he doesnt understand
Ace Markey: Brief Psychotic Disorder
- always been paranoid but only reached diagnosable criteria in the killing game
- persecutory delusions and auditory hallucinations to go along with it
- walks so quietly because he thinks someone will kill him if they hear him
Arei Nageishi: Unspecified Personality Disorder with psychotic traits
- developed a mix of personality disorder traits in childhood due to her sisters
- hallucinates under high stress, mostly auditory
- usually hears noises but sometimes laughing or indiscernable words
Rose Lacroix: Schizophrenia
- disorganized speech in the way of alogia
- often stops speaking midsentence, cant come up with the words for anything
- when she does manage to speak she has major derailment and tangentiality
- some catatonia as well
Hu Jing: Depression with psychotic features
- somatic delusions of pain and hears whispers saying her name
- thinks everyone hates her and wants her dead even when presented with obvious friendliness and care
Eden Tobisa: Schizophrenia
- doesnt take her symptoms seriously, thinks its all in her head
- hallucinations make her doubt herself all the time
- mostly auditory and olfactory, but experiences all types
- religious delusions, thinks she was sent by a higher power to do good in the world
- has lots of non-scary hallucinations, finds them fascinating
J Moreno: Schizophrenia
- runs in the family but everyone refuses to acknowledge it
- taught to keep it under wraps and even though she rejects everything else her mom tells her, she still feels internalized shame and hides it
- mainly has persecutory delusions and auditory / visual hallucinations
- not always scary but freaks out regardless if it happens in public
Whit Young: PTSD with psychotic features
- used to think his mom was still alive in delusional episodes until he went to therapy and got medication
- now he just pretends to cope with it and avoid the awkwardness. or to make jokes
- he doesnt talk about anything in therapy, only still goes to get his medication prescribed
- mostly symptom free now as far as the psychosis goes
Nico Hakobyan: Schizoaffective Disorder
- depressive type
- tried to be open to others about their diagnosis, did not go well
- medicated but still has episodes due to extreme stress
- constantly gets told that theyre confused / accidentially lying despite being self-aware of their symptoms and knowing for a fact that what theyre saying is true
