POTENTIAL I
A Voice Interactive Storytelling Website
CONCEPT BRIEF

Problem

Mental illness is stigmatized, and many patients with mental illness fail to get timely and reasonable treatment.

Solution

I created the interactive story telling site of Billy Milligan, a patient with multiple personality disorder, to correct the image of the mental illness in the society, and help people understand the mental illness is a human self-protection mechanism.
PROJECT RESOURCES (1)
Billy Milligan
Billy Milligan suffered from multiple personality disorder as a result of abuse by his stepfather as a child.
He was arrested by polices of Ohio state in 1977 for serial rape and robbery, but he has no memory of the crime. Later he underwent a thorough mental examination and discovered that he had multiple personalities. He was acquitted by a statement of four psychiatrists and a psychologist.
He is the first person in U.S. history acquitted of a major crime by reason of multiple-personality disorder. Therefore, I can get a lot of relevant information from the Internet.
