Skater Gonzi’s Fight with Borderline Schizophrenia – VICE
Polish skater and artist Gonzi has been vocal about his fight against depression and borderline schizophrenia.
Gonzi picked up a skateboard at the age of five and started hanging out with older skaters in his hometown of Łódź, exposing him to a life of parties and drug use at a young age.
He smoked his first joint at 13, and was 17 when he experienced a psychotic break due to drug use and was diagnosed with borderline paranoid schizophrenia. He thanks skateboarding, his friends, and art for still being here today. – Vice
