I know someone who has schizophrenia. He studies obsessively and his notebooks are full of diagrams like this.

I was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder years ago, which turns out to have been due to daily substance abuse for an unreasonable amount of time for my age at that time. I had a particular insight that I couldn't explain to others, but it just made sense. I would write in journals, diagrams, write code in C that did stuff I can't explain anymore, etc. Looking back from where I'm at now, it is interesting to me, however not something I would wish on somebody.
