Boehringer Ingelheim set up an 'apartment' in New York to show the typical living conditions of people with schizophrenia.

Boehringer looks 'be­yond sta­ble' to dis­play the every­day re­al­i­ties of life with schiz­o­phre­nia

Open the door to Boehringer In­gel­heim’s apart­ment ex­hib­it to­day in New York City, and you’ll see vast dis­ar­ray — cloth­ing and shoes piled on the floor and fur­ni­ture, pa­pers stacked hap­haz­ard­ly and half-eat­en food on the bed and floor.

The im­mer­sive ex­pe­ri­ence apart­ment shows how a per­son with schiz­o­phre­nia lives day to day — and not just any pa­tient, but one who would be con­sid­ered sta­ble in their con­di­tion.
