Eli5: why do schizophrenic people draw very similar pictures?

512 viewsMathematicsOther

You consistently see schizophrenic people draw those “sacred geometry” diagrams that are often like people with tons of lines and geometric shapes going through them.

Is it just a conspiracy theory that happens to stick well with them? Or is it something inherent that identifies these?

One explanation is that it’s Jungian [archetypical images ](https://psychotherapy.psychiatryonline.org/doi/pdf/10.1176/appi.psychotherapy.1955.9.4.624) manifesting, these are images we all have in common but they are maybe most known for being used in religion and myth.
