He's somewhat right. Schizophrenia is marked by a distinct loss of reality, or connection to it. Spaxz, I assume your observation is partially based on the definition of reality. In the same sense that, insanity is partially defined as a deviation from the norm that restricts your ability to interact with reality. All of these definitions assume a standard reality or experience. In some ways this is a flaw, but it's the only way that we can attempt to define it.

The beings in the pit lie to the personal consciousness. Or the personal consciousness might get lost and without understanding as to how to get out, they will be trapped there.

My aunt has schizophrenia. My father is borderline. My grandmother had it too. I do not mean to offend. This is a theory. I'm sorry if my language seem flowery. That's just how I write.

I would also say, that when I have started having thoughts that purturb and disturb me those thoughts have always been of a negative nature. I have found that by redirecting my thinking I can get clarity and feel at peace, no matter how wild my thinking is.

You last post is basically what I'm talking about. I have a cousin who has the disease (diagnosed) but has found a way out of it through Eastern mysticism. He relies heavily on it, but it is working for him. Again, no disrespect to those with the disease. What I am putting forward here is only intended to help. Perhaps medication is not the answer to everything. Maybe the mind is more powerful than we know, and maybe schozophrenics are not actually halucinating.
