Seven weeks into her first semester at Yale Law School, Elyn Saks LAW ’86 climbed out a window onto the roof of the Law School library, singing about dancing with demons in Florida. Her schizophrenia was spinning out of control again. Eventually Saks managed to return to her room, where she worried about the memos she could not write and the mass murders she thought she would commit.

Another story of mental illness at Yale is of a man who put up posters all over Yale (and on student's books in the library), defending himself against a "movie" that he thought students were watching of him.

Pretty weird, eh? I was that man, and my story will be appearing in the spring issue of "Schizophrenia Bulletin."
