People Say I’m Crazy
Welcome to my mind. My name is John Cadigan, and I’m an artist with schizophrenia. “People Say I’m Crazy” is my documentary about the world inside my head. It’s a chaotic world filled with paranoia, creativity, fear and desire. A world in which I’m struggling every day, trying to know what is real and what is not

John Cadigan is an artist and also one of the few schizophrenia patients who dares to voice for himself. Roughly ten years ago, following John's first collapse in college, he started filming himself because he wanted the world to know what it's like to be labeled as “psychotic, ” “schizophrenic” and “severely disabled”.
