One funny psych story is about a boy who was convinced that there were tiny people living in his shoes. Every morning, he would check his shoes carefully before putting them on, as if making sure the 'tiny people' were okay. Another story is of a girl who thought she could control the weather with her mood. So on a sunny day, if she was sad, she would try really hard to 'change' the weather to match her feelings.
Sure. There was a patient who thought he was a famous singer. Every day he would hold an imaginary microphone and sing at the top of his lungs, even during group therapy sessions.

Sure. There was a patient who thought he was a superhero. One day, he tried to 'fly' off the balcony of the hospital's rec room. Fortunately, the nurses caught him just in time. He then said his powers were just 'charging up' that day.
There's a story of a girl who was adopted into a new family. She seemed fine at first, but then she started to display very strange behavior. She would draw disturbing pictures of a dark figure looming over her old family. Psychologists thought it might be some repressed trauma from her past. She became more and more withdrawn, and the family was at a loss on how to help her. The drawings were so detailed and filled with a sense of dread that it sent chills down everyone's spine.
There was a girl in the psych ward who had bipolar disorder. Sometimes she was extremely energetic and talkative, other times she was very withdrawn.

One day, she organized a little singing event among the patients, which was a really positive step forward in her treatment.
Sure. One success story is about a person who was on antidepressants for a long time. They gradually reduced the dosage under the close supervision of their doctor.

One of the most interesting funny psych stories I know is about a child who thought that his toys came to life when he was asleep. He would leave out little treats for them every night.

Sure. Once there was a cat that tried to catch its own tail. It spun around in circles, looking so confused. It was hilarious.

Sure. There was a teenager in the psych ward who self - harmed. She had a very troubled family life and was bullied at school. In the ward, she felt like she had no future. One night, she tried to run away and almost succeeded, but was caught. Her story was so sad as she was just a child really, trying to cope with so much pain.
Sure. There was a girl who tried to ride a bike for the first time. She was so nervous that she pedaled backwards instead of forwards. As a result, she just stayed in one place while making a lot of effort.
