Throughout the story, "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, the protagonist suffers from an illness that gradually intensifies throughout the story to the point that she goes mad, and her symptoms all show signs of schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a mental illness that usually develops between the teen years and age 40. A schizophrenic may imagine things that aren't there, hear voices, or believe that people are plotting against them. Schizophrenia is believed to be genetic and incurable, though therapy and medication help. ("Better")
