Gerson I live with a schizophrenic. Trust me it can turn them into a horrible person when they’re in an episode. It’s becaus they get really scared and anxious. My sister thought I wanted to kill her so she would try to kill me first. But she sort of knows, it’s weird she never actually hurt me. But she walkways comes in with a tightened fist or a weapon and starts sayin scary shot but then she’ll go normal for a few seconds then go back to being horrible again. But it’s NOT her fault. I’m not saying that, but to blindly say that schizophrenia can’t turn u into a bad person.

From someone who Is Bipolar I know this hell your brother deals with. But there is something that changed my life that I had to share with you. There is a company in Canada called TrueHope they created a special vitamin & mineral therapy for people with this disorder as well for schizophrenia an depression called Empower Plus. I used to be on many meds but this therapy got me off all that and i feel waaaaay better..that was over 15 years ago. My doctor was against it but when he saw how much it helped me he wrote in my chart i had a miraculous change. This therapy changed my life, I no longer just barely get through the day.

There was a young guy in my town who was on the cusp of turning pro in skateboarding, but he also was heavily into selling acid. After he got on the radar of the cops and DEA, they went in to bust him. So instead of getting caught with the contraband, he ate a whole sheet of acid and it immediately fried his brain and put him on a permatrip. They never found the drugs, so he was let loose. He would walk around town with a backpack with half of a skateboard in it just talking and ranting about everything. I don't know what became of him, but it was a sad tale.

Lets round that up to 500 for easier math. 500x4= 2,000 cigs a month, or 24,000 cigs a year. 24,000 cigs a yearx10 years= 240,000 cigs in a ten year period. 3 packs a day is pretty common for old school heavy smokers.

[@DvSoBadmanzZ]

To explain the cigarette thing: in Med class we learned Schizophrenia and smoking are highly correlated. This is probably because smoking causes Schiz but rather it is thought people with Schiz have low/dysfunctional acetylcholine ( a neurotransmitter in the brain). Nicotine in cigarettes is the exogenous version of acetylcholine and binds to its receptor. So it is thought that smoking in schizophrenia is a form of unconscious self-medication to counteract dysfunctional acetylcholine neurotransmitter functioning.

[@danielthemaniel7934]

Very interesting that acetylcholine plays part in schizophrenia since deliriants that cause anticholinergic syndrome by cutting off acetylcholine to the cholinergic receptors in the brain cause frighteningly similar psychotic delirium states with visual and auditory hallucinations indistinguishable from reality (much like in schizophrenia)

[@joeberben1982]

That's so nuts.. My father was a paranoid schizophrenic and everything that Ryan guy said I can relate to.. My dad LOVED smoking fuckin cigarettes, like just lived to smoke, like yeah a carton over 2 days type loved it.. He also had constantly paranoid thoughts even when he was medicated properly, used to say that someone knocked on his walls when he was trying to sleep, that he was going to be kidnapped, someone was looking for revenge over something he read about 20 years ago.. just sad, crazy stuff.. when I was young he called me at my mother's house and had gotten to a city 600kms away from his town and he couldn't find his shirt.. He didn't explain why he was there just kept asking me for his shirt.. I was about 10 yrs old.. It got worse for him over the last few years and he hung himself in his laundry last March.. I lived across the street from him, and I still couldn't help him in the end.. It's a pretty fucked up disease I can tell you that..

[@tracyburnquist6513]

What Joe is talking about is called “folio a deux” or shared insanity. If I remember correctly, a book I read quite a few years ago said that the delusions of a psychotic person can be taken on by a person who does not have psychosis if the two people are left together in isolation for long periods of time (e.g. they are in jail together). The person who does not have psychosis begins to lose his sense of reality when he gets cut off from outside sources of information or feedback from people who do or share in the delusion.

Really? I’ve always theorized that it’s where all of my creativity comes from. Auditory schizo here, I’m almost a Jedi with controlling the voices/sounds/music/screaming without medication, but one never “fully” control it. Sometimes one or multiple voices scream questions at me to which I get startled loudly asking my wife or kids “wtf r u yelling at me for??” Or waking up screaming and running straight into a wall or dresser. But that’s mostly as bad as it gets, when I was younger an undiagnosed it was Hell…people loved being around me, which I didn’t really understand cuz I didn’t want to be around me lol but until I got help for it I self medicated for about a decade with alcohol sex and heroin/opiates and or cocaine. Stupid. Now I just let em scream and and carry on, and I just ignore the absoluteFUCKout of them. But I make art, clothing, music, jewelry, skateboard, surf, check a bit out on Instagram @xerolestrange

My brother in law was a perfectly normal guy at 22. Went out one weekend and got wrecked on acid and it triggered his schizophrenia- had to go into the psych ward in the hospital for a couple weeks and he remains on heavy medication. Poor guy has never been the same since.

[@Arong36]

I took an absolutely massive dose of LSD at 20. I meant to take 3 hits , but the guy with it had it in a breath mint dropper, and he accidentally squirted a massive stream in my mouth. Who knows how much? 30 hits? More ? Less? I was tripping harder at 20 mins than at a peak of a 2 hit trip. I completely died, merged with all of existence, I was in a state of psychosis for several years afterward, and ill still never completely grasp reality, any little thing can fling me back into the void. My understanding of the nature of my exsistence is overwhelming, ignorance is bliss. Becareful , youll find what youre looking for, but you might not like it. Its beautiful, but so lonely.

He's right mental illness isn't funny. BUT people also don't realize the healing power of comedy. When you can find the humor in something it makes it so much easier to cope with. The last time I had a break was just a few months ago, I was about to quit my job buy an acre of land in the woods. I was going to build a log cabin and my wife and I were going to retire quietly in the mountains. Keep in mind, I grew up in the city so have zero survival skills. I've never built anything in my life, AND this was in the middle of a Minnesota winter. My wife picked me up from work and brought me to the ER to be seen. They sent me home and I took some time off work. Seriously you can laugh it's funny 🤣
