The text suggests Fuckhead suffers multiple symptoms associated with a dissociative disorder, such as dissociative identity disorder.
Another way that Jim Stevens used symbolism in the poem Schizophrenia, was by using the appearance of the house on not only the inside but also the outside to represent the way outsiders see the family as opposed to the way the family actually is. The outside of the house is representing what the family is showing to others, they do not put up a perfect front, but it is not nearly as hurt as the inside. In reality, the inside of the house is what the whole family is really dealing with, and what it actually looks and feels like to have schizophrenia. The inside of the house is talked about much more than the outside because Jim Stevens wants the reader to understand that the family is hurting from the schizophrenia on the inside and trying

The silver screen plays a big role in portraying how the audience understands and thinks about mental illnesses. It is then important that movies and media properly represent mental illnesses to avoid the further creation of stigmas and wrongful opinions about some common, as well as rare disorders.
