I guess this a follow-up question to my NPD question
my MC has psychosis and suffers from hearing voices, delusions, and hallucinations, and he's unknowing the centerpiece of some conspiracy about a prophecy of a ghost going to destroy the world and he wants to find the truth and embodies hope,
I don't want it to seem gimmicky,
in his past, he suffers hearing voices and after his cousin killed his aunt in self-defense Long story and after that, he has delusions that his aunt is coming for him, and he ended taking too many anti-psychosis pills just to make the delusions stop and now he's got clean and he wants to just be a normal boy,
I want to be realistic, I know that having a character angst about their mental illness is a cliche
