“Chris had a "tumultuous" time several years ago, dealing with the onset of schizoaffective disorder, but has overcome addiction and homelessness and established stability for himself, while also being an extremely productive artist.
His artist name, as well as his social media handle, is xoradmagical.
He's done one film for the National Film Board of Canada and is working on another.
He's prolific on TikTok, where he describes his posts as "a personal virtual diary that everybody is allowed to look at."
Chris was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder in 2017 at the age of 20. It's a mental health condition that includes hallucinations or delusions and mood disorder symptoms such as depression or mania.”

Ever wonder what psychosis feels like. From someone who has experienced it and now has the insight so many of our loved ones do not have?
We’re lucky to have permission instead to repost this recording from The Schizophrenia Society of York University in Canada.
SSY collaborated with the Schizophrenia Society of Canada (SSC) for this - their 4th annual panel event, "Duality of the Reality: Living with Psychosis."
The purpose of this event is to hear real-life lived experiences and stories of success, hope, struggles and coping from individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia and psychosis.
