More insightful case study

I've found another case study into a form of Schizophrenia. It's based around the life of January Schofield, 6, who has a very severe case of Schizophrenia and has imaginary friends. She's been on heavy medication and this is her story:


So far in this project it has been difficult to find actual case studies of mental delusion that contains actual interviews and recording of the patients visions which I want to be the focus. My initial ideas for this Fakery project is to investigate as many case studies as possible and select one that provides a strong insight into the patients mind. I want to know what the patient hallucinates, how they react to people in the real world, what medication they're on etc. Then take their descriptions of their visions and illustrate them to communicate their "fake" world.
