Well, my post isn't going to be quite so negative...in fact, I believe the OP may be onto something...I think "insane" people often appear to be insane because they are seeing and hearing things which most humans on this physical plane cannot...perhaps not a glitch in the matrix...but something is going on...I've read the most enlightening reports by people with conditions like manic depression...I believe through altered states of consciousness, these people are "tuning in" to unseen aspects of reality...those intellectual conversations in your head could simply be a product of your imagination...or they could be two beings in another dimension discussing something...if it's in English, well then that's a bit harder to explain isn't it? All I know is, not all so called insane people are really insane...they're just misunderstood...

And do you have any idea how damaging it is for society as a whole to start diagnosing this and that, when we don't even understand what we are diagnosing? Sure, you may think they are insane this thread could just make them more insane...but you didn't think this thread might actually give them their sanity back by letting them know they might NOT actually be insane, and they might be able to bring some form of control into their life by better understanding what's happening to them?!? You're so quick to claim they're insane...well, I claim you're insane for making such stupid proclamations...did you ever consider people like you are actually the ones making people insane by constantly telling them they have a problem?
Do you have any idea the damage these types of threads could do to a person who has diagnosed schizophrenia?

Every single person on this Earth has a slightly different brain, and it functions slightly different, therefore they think slightly different to everyone else on the planet. Our ancestors thought differently to us, and future generations will think differently to us. They'll probably look back at us and consider us all highly insane delusional beings...my point is, you can't try to quantify and form rules around something so dynamic and little understood, let alone try to fix these so called "mental problems" via "professional" help...
Since when did deep thinkers become the crazy people?

A diagnosis of schizophrenia is the mental health equivalent of giving a diagnosis of cancer. There is no conspiracy it is a very serious psychiatric condition and should a venerable person living with schizophrenia read a thread like this or similar to it, it may persuade them to stop taking medication and/or fuel any delusions of grandeur.

It ain't paranormal, it's neural science.
What's the point of randomly guessing and applying random parts of science fiction stories???
It's as unproductive as ancient folks thinking comets brought about bad weather and bad luck.

I’ll tell you what, when you start treating people who have sliced there face, arms and bodies with razor blade because they thought that if they had no skin the voices would stop only to find out this hasn’t worked and then spent the best part of a month on suicide watch in a constant emotional state, then tell me it’s a “glitch in the matrix”.
I have seen firsthand what this horrible condition does to people, if you had schizophrenia with awareness you would be begging to doctor to give you the drugs.
