i have schizophrenia.
i think.
schizophrenia is hard to diagnose from what i know.
from what i heard, schiophrenia can be confused with bipolar, delusionary disorder, manic depression, paranoia, post-traumatic disorder, anxiety, and even ADD.
it is very complicated.
but i get depressed very easily 1 minute and happy the next.
sometimes i think everyone can read my mind and i am the newbie on this world.
i know that stuff sounds crazy, but i don't believe it as much as you. but it attacks me and i can't help to believe it as a possibility. i've unrealisticaly thought of my self as Jesus, Goku(DBZ), and the president of USA. unrealisticly though, i never seriously believed it, but i went down to deep in a hole pondering things and felt as if. and no, i am not crazy. i could relate a lot of things i have been through to you that you would call me crazy for but in turn i could say i was euphoric somehow through most events.

be the way, i believe i have a drug induced form of schizophrenia, *snip*. it has recently been proven that marijuana DOES let forth schizophrenia in individuals who have it dormant in them. *snip*
i am peaceful and i consider myself well above average in intelligience, but too many times in the day i am off track thinking some crazy ass stuff that sometimes leads unto a wonderful conclusion but most of the time i just say, "what *snip* was i just thinking?!"

I personaly, have come to the point, where its beyond irrational thoughts in my head, or voices in my head. I have reached the point, where I can hallucinate regularly and know its not real. I have never done any type of drugs either, so I know my problem isnt due to that. I was against medical treatment earlier in this post I think, as this is an old one, however now that I have reached this point, I decided to see a doctor, and I honestly would feel it safer for everyone else if I be in a hospital.

Its rough, hallucinating in my own home, becoming paniced over something I know isnt real, yet my eyes see it, clear as day. However, its when it happens while driving that lead me to seek help, I dont want to hurt anyone because im too ignorant to seek science to solve this problem, so I suppose with time, and experiance, my mind has been changed. Although with a mind like mine, change isnt all that much unussual.

Has anyone done any research on chemical imbalances? My son who is 22 was diagnosed with schizophrenia 3 years ago and was institutionalized twice in the first year. Both times he was given increasing doses of zyprexa, ritalin etc. Like most others on antipsychotics he developed that glazed over look and had terrible tremors. Seeing him like that just broke my heart and prompted me to conduct intensive research into this disorder. Eventually I stumbled accross the work of Dr. Abram Hoffer who uses an orthomolecular (vitamin thereapy) approach. From research on the internet, I learned that Dr Hoffer is the world's foremost expert on schizophrenia. I took my son to Victoria BC to see Dr. Hoffer almost 2 years ago. He started him on mega doses of vitamins (particularily niacin - B3) and weaned him off all pharmaceuticals. He has been symptom free ever since. If anyone is interested in more info please feel free to contact me.

Schizophrenia is a many a varied concept. There are many different synptoms that have gone into the diagnosis of schizophrenia, but a composite list will usually show that there are only generalizations.........uncomfortable thoughts, lack of motivation, disorganized thinking, slow thinking, difficulty understanding, poor concentration, poor memory, difficulty expressing thoughts, difficulty integrating thoughts, feelings and behavior, and social disorders that result in self-isolation. Any one of these symptoms can be attributed to a potentially normal abberation dependent on individual circumstances and as such, I have difficulty in negotiating the term schizophrenia and its clinical relevants. The most common symptom associated with schizophrenia is the hearing of voices and a close second is delusion.

Schizophrenia should not be confused with Multiple Personality Disorder, or Dissociative State Disorder.

As to the difficulty in even defining schizophrenia, I would recommend specific question(s), infinite. I have some experience with the subject and can probably be of some help if I understand what you are looking for.


i would leave the "difficult understanding" part out of schizophrenia.

mental disorders have often been ostracized in the medical community.
Some real forward looking work was done before Frued but the evidence just outweighs our ideals. Frued,i believe, would connect real life(outside the psychiatric ward) variables with symptoms and give an actual diagnosis. His papers are the foundation of much work done today.
Psychiatrists all agree Frued is god and Pavlov is the devil. what they disagree on is the actual sentancing or prescription. Enter pharmacutical
companies with big budgets and a bent for revenge (after Kellogg and Bert's Big Bad Hangover Humidifier). The confused don't stand a chance!
well, it was an improvement over some rather difficult and embarrassing times i suppose

I am very sorry to hear that. The drugs you are taking will help stabilize you while you need them. I can tell you--from knowing a few schizophrenics and reading about the “illness”--having a mind that flies all over the place is not the real problem. Many great geniuses in history have apparently had that condition (they are simply more in touch with the primal and creative forces in the universe). I believe the problem is really fear. I suspect that all of your negative symptoms come from fear, and there are a lot of posts on this site that will help generate that fear. All of the New World Order and Skull and Bones and Tribulation threads are enough to make anyone afraid. My advice is to stop visiting this site (as you say you will) and listen to your inner, more positive and hopeful voice. This will take time and work, but eventually your roving mind will begin to dart off in more positive directions. Remember that there is a lot of good in this world, and any negative thought can be turned into a positive one with a change in perspective. But more importantly, thoughts are just that, thoughts, and the only truth out there is what lies in our hearts. Love is the foundation of the universe and you are embarked on a great adventure of spiritual growth that includes a visit (or several visits) to this material plane to grow and learn about the importance love. After death, you will go on to experience great and wonderful things, but first you must get through this life…learn from it, be responsible for your thoughts, love those around you and MOST IMPORTANTLY choose hope over fear and love over hate. Also know that you are protected and loved. This life is a challenge and you are up to it.

Best of luck…and force yourself to think positive.

They said in the news the death toll of American soldiers in Iraq was about 800 in 2007. But I think the actual number is 16,000. The German military has not given up world domination, since 1946 they have killed about 12 million people. They might be doing mass murder until 2826 year. The police in China are 99% Japanese the Japs actually control china.

I really dont usually share this, but a few years back, I was diagnosed with Schizophrenia. The reason I don't share it is because people look at you like some obsessive compulsive nut that cant be a contributing member of society.

If you want to learn about Schizophrenia, check out support forums on the subject. You get the information from people who have it or live with someone who does, and/or get to read the main sites that will explain it from head to toe.

Good luck, Infinite.

Paranoid Schizophrenia -- My mother had it. My sister's son has it. My daughter's father had like symptoms from heavy use of street drugs including heroin. Now my daughter's husband has paranoid schizophrenia including hearing a demon telling him to kill my daughter. He never used drugs or alcohol and is very young.
Isn't this a lot? There is definitely demonic involvement in the last case. What about a person who cannot go to a priest because he is not Eastern Orthodox? Yes, we are all Christians, and we rely on Jesus. We need to know how to get protection from the persons who have this disease who are progressively more and more violent. My daughter has horrible suffering from his behavior and just knowing about the demon and also now poverty including not enough food.

You are right. Most never get proper treatment. because they can't. It still doesn't mean that schizophrenia has the cure. It doesn't. And if your boss or family member may stress you, you will get schizophrenia again and again. Therefore it's not gone, you just need a certain situation to enable it. And this is the fact making schizos extremely dangerous. The fact that they feel healthy, and for any reason they turn out to be violent killers.


This is one of the most rampant schizophrenia myths. There is no correlation between violence and schizophrenia. There is a lot of information at this site
Someone else has posted this site too. There are a lot of people who function in society with the illness because they are properly medicated. i think it is misinformation that keeps some folks from getting proper help.

Get the man to a hospital or clinic to be seen by a doctor, please. Schizophrenia (or other mental illness) has nothing to do with demonic possession. It is backwards ignorant thinking like this that creates out of control schizophrenics. I cant believe people still believe this demonic crap in an age where we can get information within seconds online.If the man does harm someone it will be partially your fault if don't help him. Even the church will suggest a psychiatric evaluation first.

Hi,

I would like to state that people with schizophrenia can be strange at times and belive me there is nothing like realising that.

I have had schizophrenia for ten years now and i know it.

As far as i am concerned i am at my last stage in recovery and am looking forward to getting through it.

I have some good tips for those that can help themselves with this condition and would be happy to share them.

Big hug
