I'm a Hellblade fan who experiences psychosis (voice hearing) AMA
Sorry if this has already done before. I thought people might be interested in hearing from someone who experiences some of the things Senua does. (Obviously not the being a Pict part, although I AM Scottish and somewhat obsessed with Norse and Celtic mythology.)
Just for the record, I'm not diagnosed with schizophrenia. I have a number of conditions that include psychosis but as far as I know, Senua doesn't have a "diagnosis" either.
I'm very open about my condition(s) and happy to answer any curious questions.
I've heard psychosis varies a lot from person to person but I have to say that in my case the portrayal was incredibly accurate.How accurate is the portrayal in game?
The visual stuff I have isn't anywhere near as strong as what Senua experiences but the voices were absolutely spot-on and the more fleeting visual stuff (the crackling glass effect, the facial distortions and especially the shadow-people towards the end) was so familiar it really shocked me.
