Excellent presentation, but a couple of gripes. This was only made only a year ago and yet is clearly based on DSM 4 . Clinicians should look at some of the newer research that talks about dimensional approaches, moving away from "schizophrenia" and towards "chronic psychosis" as a model, as well as the power of Open Dialogue Therapy as pioneered in Scandinavia in the past few years, whether adjunct or instead of antipsychotic prescription. There's some really exciting research happening in the states with early intervention, but huge issues with the diagnosis of so called "ultra high risk" groups (aka potentially prodromal) who might not turn out to not be on course for conversion to chronic psychosis. Personally I think going even earlier and targeting young adults who experience a lot of adversity when screened for ACEs would do wonders for the treatment of this specific condition. Schizophrenia is considered by WHO to be the second most debilitating condition to live with and the only truly powerful tool we have to tackle it's 1% incidence is prevention. Very exciting research to come I'm sure <3 peace and love all

I had and still have manic depression since I was 15. At 25 I got full blown schizophrenia. I hear voices, have visual hallucinations and have mood swings. At 51 I am a mess. I sleep all day and watch youtube or network news. I wish the rapid cycling of emotions will stop.

"Patient with schizophrenia must be assessed for suicide"
Schizophrenic person: Am I dead?

I don’t think I suffer from schizophrenia but I have experienced a few alarming voices on rare occasions while under stress. For example, I once was awakened suddenly by a screeching, blood-curdling scream at which I found my mouth wide opened. I am sure the scream came from me because I heard the neighbor on the other side of the wall say to her partner “Did you hear that!” At another time I heard a masculine, very frightening, growling masculine voice that startled me awake. Those two incidents happened only in a matter of seconds, they didn’t continue on. A few other times while awake I have heard my name called.

Yet other times I suddenly have seen a shadow at the corner of my eye but when I turned around no one is there.

Is it possible that I am beginning to develop schizophrenia? Those incidences are rare.

I believe it’s now well established that those diagnosed with schizophrenia are likely to do better long term having had NO medication input.
Most ‘mental illness’ manifest from past Trauma, usually childhood Trauma, this is true of schizophrenia also.
In the past ‘talking treatments’ were refused to anyone diagnosed schizophrenia and/or deemed psychotic…
I’m hopeful this will change and that Long term psychotherapy from Trauma specialists (Trauma informed & properly trained) will become available to all who are diagnosed with schizophrenia/psychosis.
Only then will there be any hope for ‘Recovery’.

But here in the uk docs dismiss young mental illness and also when you are in the system they sit and do nothing until it becomes threatening to you or others around you. You never get early intervention here.

US PATENT 4, 877, 027--HEARING SYSTEM --Sound is induced in the head of a person by radiating the head with microwaves in the range of 100 megahertz to 10, 000 megahertz that are modulated with a particular waveform. The waveform consists of frequency modulated bursts. Each burst is made up of ten to twenty uniformly spaced pulses grouped tightly together. The burst width is between 500 nanoseconds and 100 microseconds. The pulse width is in the range of 10 nanoseconds to 1 microsecond. The bursts are frequency modulated by the audio input to create the sensation of hearing in the person whose head is irradiated.

When a test is designed it ONLY takes one false answer to fail the test and I have failed some test in my college years. Thought is not something observable to other people. Although positive symptoms can often have roots in adding things to thought process that would not be present otherwise, disorganization is always associated with lacking organization. Yes I understand that you mean based on observation. But this is a critical error that will fail students who are correct in the test. Disorganized SPEECH is the positive symptom AND as a schizophrenic I will have you know what appears is disorganized speech has much more reason to be associated with the patients fleeting limited attention than the schizophrenic’s organization of thought. Organization of thought is a problem, but it has more to do with getting through a concept while telling a story or making what he or she perceives as a good argument than feeling distracted by an abstract trigger. When testing a schizophrenics organization of thought I recommend having us write what we want to say. And also always remember most of us have a very autistic sense of humor. The pragmatic and the nonsensical are both heightened with sensitivity in the minds of a schizophrenic. The word is nonsensical, there is nothing rude in nonsense

[vassilikizivala]

Hi, some doctors think that I'm schizophrenic. It hurts me a lot but it is like that since 20 years now. Since I got involved with journalism and politics. After many 'relapses' can anyone tell me please how I can stop them from occuring once and forever? Please.
Thank you in advance.
