On the work of the mentally ill

Madness ... madness is that? Terrible disease? The degeneration of humanity? Avoiding the common sense of reality? In every science and every field of human activity on this issue would be your answer, but as a rule in all the theories explaining this phenomenon madness will be characterized as a deviation from the norm. It is a deviation from the norm makes a person crazy. But what then is the norm? Where Described the same standard, under which is equal to normal people? Where she had been laid face across which the socially useful person, group of society, becomes an outcast, otchuzhdentsem, dangerous and insane patients who urgently need to isolate them from society and forced to heal? Maybe the whole thing in the world? They say fools are living in a world similar to the one in which they live everyone else, but is it bad? Have been possible the modern world such as we see it today, if all men since the beginning would have the same outlook? After all, for that would create something new, it is necessary to deviate from the norm, to look at reality from a different angle, to resist the primitive fear of the unknown and to lift the curtain behind which lie the new unknown creatures dwell. In each era can be traced people who are not afraid to be normal, whose world went far beyond the current standards at that time, Aristotle, Leonardo da Vinci, Einstein, Tesla, they do not mind standard turned the world, broke the rules and framework of primitive exalted ideas before What we use and see today. It's always a deviation from the norm is bad? What is different from the world of lunatic genius of the world? Perhaps the genius of the same form of insanity? In today's world began to think about it, and began to create different directions in art and science, where the mentally ill or outsiders could show their unusual abilities and a world that is already in the first steps gave great results. What a surprise it was the public when they learned that some of the patients in psychiatric centers and hospitals have unfathomable to the average person mathematical ability. Some of them may have in mind to add and multiply complex cumbersome fractions, with high accuracy of the numbers show the root, etc. In other patients manifested craving for art, painting, sculpting. There is a strong resemblance to the drawings insane great creations of artists Surrealists such as Salvador Dali, Arno Brecker, Ernst Fuchs and others

Now search for and development of talent among the mentally ill is gaining popularity, people are starting to realize that mentally ill people are not able to get along in society also have their personality, can also feel and perceive the world, but in its own way, differently from all other . We can only help them to adapt and get along in our world, to learn how to interact with him, but in no case without destroying their identity, without suppressing their worldview, not hanging on their labels. After all, in whom one of them behind a mask of confusion and pain can disappear quite a genius, a creator, which is destined to bring into this world, something new.
