In the television world, Schizophrenia has shown up in many popular medical dramas. On a recent episode of ABC's "Grey's Anatomy", TV actress Demi Lovato guest starred and played an adolescent suffering from schizophrenia. Her character could hear everything going on inside her body; from her heart beating, to her eyes moving, to the sound of her own blood rushing. Her character could no longer "take it", so she resorted to trying to claw her eyes out. Although I think it is respectable of this young actress to portray such a character, I wish it wasn't in such a stereotypical way.
