Perhaps it would help if you explained what Schizophrenia was? There might be people who don't know what it is .. *shifty eyes*

schiz·o·phre·ni·a ( P ) Pronunciation Key (skts-frn-, -frn-)
n.
Any of a group of psychotic disorders usually characterized by withdrawal from reality, illogical patterns of thinking, delusions, and hallucinations, and accompanied in varying degrees by other emotional, behavioral, or intellectual disturbances. Schizophrenia is associated with dopamine imbalances in the brain and defects of the frontal lobe and is caused by genetic, other biological, and psychosocial factors.
A situation or condition that results from the coexistence of disparate or antagonistic qualities, identities, or activities: the national schizophrenia that results from carrying out an unpopular war.

Danzar - January 16, 2006 07:55 PM (GMT)
I've never experianced symptoms of this.
Ryetsei - January 16, 2006 11:24 PM (GMT)
I seem to have experienced a few symptoms, here and there, but I don't think I have Schizophrenia.
Pendant - January 19, 2006 12:54 AM (GMT)
I very much doubt anyone here would even have the slightest symptoms of it.

Actually, considering schizophrenia is a very serious mental condition, and caused by a chemical imbalance (or so I believe, I haven't read up on it for a year), I believe so.
Chainsaw Buddy Chi - January 19, 2006 04:58 AM (GMT)
But there are different levels of seriousness :o

How the fuck is this a serious topic...? Asking if anyone has Schizophrenia?
If I made this topic it would be closed.
Kojiro - January 19, 2006 10:50 PM (GMT)
But, if it wasn't a serious topic, then it wouldn't be in LUE.

| Some famous cases of schizophrenia are known all-around, such as John Nash (winner of a Nobel prize and subject of movie “The Beautiful Mind”) and Andrea Yates (who drowned her five children to “save them from the devil”). Sadly, most of the schizophrenic suffer IQ drops, few ever start families of their own, and most go into poverty. Treatment is also very poor, as antipsychotics (the most popular option) only works with 20% of patients. Recently, it has been speculated that glutamate deficiency may be the reason for schizophrenia, but treatment to this day is still limited. Schizophrenia also has several symptoms, broken into categories: positive, negative, cognitive. Positive symptoms are agitation, paranoid delusions, and hallucinations (typically voices, which can lead to violent tendencies). Negative and Cognitive symptoms include autism, ambivalence, blunted affect, loose association, lack of spontaneity, poor speech, and slowed movement. Schizophrenia effects all parts of the brain, and generally leaves the patient dependent on others because of it taking away problem-solving of real-world situations, social skills, and personality. The reasoning is generally excess dopamine (for positive symptoms), and patients treated with this problem generally do well in life. However, negative and cognitive treatment is very poor. For these patients, there are other theses that suggest there may be excess dopamine in some regions, but reduced amounts in others. One treatment, clozapine, was useful against both positive and negative symptoms since it effected more than just one neurotransmitter. Another important clue that the effects of PCP (angel dust) tends to make negative and cognitive side effects appear. This is due to the impairment of glutamate, and the receptor NMDA, which has to do with development, learning, ect. This receptor also helps the brain focus on specifically what the subject is listening to. Clozapine has been shown to reverse the PCP behavior in animals, so it is now being studied in several institutes and leaves a new window of opportunity towards this research. There are many different ways to approach schizophrenic relief, one way being a brain chip that studies brain tissues. Heredity is rather odd, as identical twins should always be schizophrenic together, but that is not the case; though heredity is a strong factor, environmental effects are also very important. A schizophrenic typically has a smaller brain, and the illness actually effects the entirety of the brain; which may mean it is actually several illnesses in one. |
I had to fit this into one page for school, so excuse how choppy it sounds.

Sometimes, when I'm really mad, I become evil for a few days and plan about how I'm going to destroy the world.
...Why's everyone looking at me like that?
Hate Equally - February 1, 2006 05:06 AM (GMT)
I was diognosed with minor schizophrenia when I was six, I live a pretty normal life, except for all the medications and treatments I have to get. Its really minor to the point were I'll start doing things compulsivley when I'm not on my meds and not notice, the compulshion is an effect of the disorder, originally the doctors thought I had OCD but they said my behavior was too spirattic for that, I hate the fact that I have this diorder but I can still live my life the way I want with it, its like sin, once you commit a sin it becomes part of you like an eye or finger. To get rid of it would make you miss it. I need little aid for my disorder just a slap in the face every now and then and I'm good, aside from the meds and doctors of course

One short day away from a necropost. Le Sigh. I'm insane. I've been diagnosed on various occasions of dementia. I'm also Bipolar. Sucks don't it? I'm a pretty normal guy, and I ususally keep myself under control though, so I'm not too scary. My insomnia does make my eyes look all baggy though, so I guess I'm a bit scary.

Yes, I agree with Pendant. I doubt any of you have unless you have been diagnosed from a docter.
