Allie Burke first started seeing shadows when she was three years old but it wasn’t until she was in her mid-twenties that she was formally diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. When it comes to mental illness, the day to day realities, challenges, and symptoms of living with these conditions are as varied people who have them. VICE is spending time with people who live with mental illness everyday to get a first hand perspective of what their lives look like and how they live with mental illness.
This video was originally published on Vice in 2019 and is being repurposed by Refinery29.
