| No. Well maybe. But it has nothing to do with synaesthesia. In the past synaesthetes have often been mistaken for schizophrenics. Actually this occasionally still happens today as most psychiatrists have never even heard of synaesthesia. A fellow synaesthete recalled an episode of "Roseanne" where they suspect their mother is going crazy. DJ suggests they ask her "what colour is a dog's bark?" Well for my dog it's a dark-greenish brown, but it's different for other dogs.... Anyway my point is that synaesthesia is not a delusional mental illness, but a self-aware neurological abnormality. | ||||||
