Schizophrenia question

Question:

I suppose so. That is the case in my family. Neither my mother or father are schizophrenic. I personally do not believe in mental illness, but I play the game to some degree. I am hesitant to cooperate because I feel psychiatrists are hurting people with the medications based largely on cultural biases and gullible patients.

Response:

Before a quarter century ago there was no medical definition of schizophrenia. Anyone could be diagnosed as schizophrenic. Then near the end of the twentieth century schizophrenia was defined as having too much dopamine, the neurotransmitter for the reward regions of the brain. It was obvious that so called schizophrenics were not the happiest people in the world and some old patients who had been diagnosed schizophrenic developed Parkenson’s Disease which is a lack of dopamine. It is a medical secret, and unfortunately there are too many of these, that any person can find some ubiquitous little thing that will trigger surges of dopamine flow. Whenever any of these triggers are sociopathic or divert enough ambition to satisfy the "system" such a person is called a schizophrenic and, in the spirit of the traditional puritan ethic, is denied any pleasure by forced injestion of dopamine blockers. Remember that, "Puritanity is the haunting feeling that someone somewhere is feeling good." Yet, psychiatry doesn’t classify the same physioogy operating in an addiction to gambling or any of the addictive substances. So far, dopamine blockers are not yet used to stop a smoking habit. The accusation of schizophrena has been mainly used as a political tool of oppresion out side of criminal law. If the "system" does’t like your ideas and they can’t find any law you have broken they will try to get you by diagnosing you a schizophrenic. If some genotype is tagged schizophrenic, God help them, the "system will only have just another criterion for genocide. An actual disabling brain condtion called schizophrenia today is not the stereotype called schizophrenia but is one or more of the brain diseases neglected in the name of schizophrenia. As soon as political persection is removed from medicine progress will be made in treating real brain diseases. http://community.webtv.net/mpereira/TheSecretsofthe

My mom does wear a Puritanical Outfit when she sings for the chorus. Looks like the best threads from the 17th century. She told me a few months ago that I am the most miserable person she knows. I hope that puritanical thing is workin’ for her, maybe I should blame my unhappiness on her…wait a minute, I’ve blamed my parents for my unhappiness for the past 40 years, everyday.

Good post, except that Zyban (wellbutrin) is used in smoking cessation therapies. Today, there is less concern about eccentricity than there is about making money off everything, including sick people. Big pharma has a vested interest in keeping as many people as it can on psychoactive pills for life, so the definition of schizophrenia is necessarily going to be broad–tho not as broad as the definition of things such as depression. Addictive antidepressants are now being administered to children and are causing suicide, which the government is taking action on, unusually enough.

Yes. While there is a statistical link to parental illness, the exact cause is not known. There is also a statistical link to trauma during childbirth. The disease itself will probably be several distinct diseases in the future. For now, anything similar goes under the same label.

The reason I ask is because I have obsessive compulsive disorder, and a few times at night when Im worried sick I’ll open my eyes and will see a redish spiky ball thing moving then it will disapear in less then a secound. It only happens when Im obsessing and only at night when Im the most nervous. So for now my prozac has stopped working and I’ve been going to websites on schizophrenia and read it was possible to get it without any known "doner" in the family—now Im constantly checking that everything is real even ordinary people walking down the street I ask my mom if she can see the person. I don’t think I had any viruses or truama at birth, my mom says I was a healthy baby and the procedure went flawless. I don’t take narcotics and I also take fish oil pills twice a day and have been for about a month.

Don’t worry about it man…you’re checking yourself too closely, which will inevitably turn up all kinds of symptoms for the thing that worries you most. Don’t believe the psychiatrists if they take your bait and suggest psychosis meds. They’re the last people on this planet you should believe or be hanging around…believe me. > I don’t think I had any viruses or truama at birth, my mom says I was > a healthy baby and the procedure went flawless.

You’re fine.

I had OCD and anger issues when I was younger. These later led to schizophrenia. My grandfather also had it. You really shouldn’t read about psychology stuff until you have full-blown schizophrenia. I think I made myself worse by reading about schizophrenia. It’s better to focus on good diet, having friends, dating women but not getting serious, and working if you can. M.
