Schizophrenia may be a necessary consequence of literacy.

Schizophrenia may be a necessary consequence of literacy.

Summary

This provocative quote suggests that schizophrenia, a mental disorder characterized by distorted thinking and a loss of contact with reality, might be linked to the development of literacy. It implies that being able to read and write could potentially contribute to the emergence of schizophrenia in some individuals. This perspective suggests a unique perspective on how cognitive abilities and the use of language may interact with mental health conditions. However, it is important to note that this idea remains highly debated within the field of psychology and psychiatry, with no consensus on the matter.
