Inside the Mind of Adam Petrazela
Living with schizophrenia at sixteen isn't just unusual-it's terrifying. When Adam's hallucinations transform from magical visions into giant bats with human eyes and needle-like fangs during chemistry class, his private world collides violently with reality. What follows is a journey through the fractured landscape of a brilliant young mind trying desperately to distinguish between what's real and what isn't. Adam's hallucinations have personalities of their own: Rebecca, a beautiful woman who performs cartwheels but never speaks; mobsters with raised guns; and a man in a bowler hat ominously repeating "It's almost time." What makes his story so compelling isn't just these vivid characters living in his mind, but his remarkable self-awareness about them. When the experimental drug ToZaPrex creates distance between Adam and his visions, he describes it perfectly: "Before, I couldn't distinguish reality from hallucination, but now I can watch my mind's projections like a movie." But what would you do if your mind created people who felt as real as anyone else? Adam develops relationships with his hallucinations, especially Rebecca. When she appears worried, he comforts her. This isn't just suffering from symptoms-it's learning to live with parts of yourself that others can't see or understand.
