00:00I want to dig a little deeper there and ask you about writing the scene with Ed's diagnosis and
00:05just your goal with that scene and how you wanted to handle it. Just wanted to get it across in
00:11like
00:11the plainest terms in a way that I, that it was explained to me that schizophrenia is basically
00:17the two sides of your brain not really knowing how to talk to one another. So, so things that
00:22I might think to myself right now, like you're talking too long and like that's what your voice
00:28sounds like would be like shouted. They would seem like you were, that was being shouted at by an
00:35actual external voice and is really intrusive and disruptive and very hard to, um, really hard to
00:41live a life around. The sad thing is like quite, it's quite treatable. Um, but one of the symptoms
00:47of the medications that they have is that you think you don't need it. So a lot of people with
00:51schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorders will sort of like, um, will kind of come out of it and live
00:57quite normal lives and they're not perfect medications, but they're, um, they're accessible
01:02and then people just go off of them. Um, there's a great, I wish I knew the name. So this
01:08is a dumb
01:09story, but there's a guy who wrote, who was a painter who had schizophrenia and he painted,
01:14he went off medication. Yeah. It's just not like everybody should look at this. It's just,
01:19it's a completely great, uh, encapsulation of the, his self image, how it darkens. And the last image
01:27is a sort of scribbled out face and wires going up to the sky with ears in them. There's a
01:34lot of this
01:35like, Oh, all this stuff that is basically internal to our psyche becomes external.
