Slashdot Mirror
Schizophrenia Experiences and Suggestions?
Jagercola asks: "My sister was recently diagnosed with Schizophrenia. It's a chronic, severe, and disabling brain disease that we don't know a lot about. The movie, A Beautiful Mind, paints an accurate picture of how the disease affects someone in a best case scenario. I would like the vast audience here to help me understand the disease through experiences and that it might help me aid my sister. If you know someone how has the disease, how has it affected your and their life? How have you been able to cope with it? What are the long term implications for quality of life?"
is if Slashdot posts this again tomorrow. :P
no, you don't.
Too many people confuse Schizophrenia with Multiple Personality Disorder. The two are related, but are not the same thing.
I agree totally with you.
I, however, don't.

Ah, you speak of that rarest of posts, the +5 troll
To make laws that man cannot, and will not obey, serves to bring all law into contempt.

Because, in addition to being legal experts and marketing geniuses, we're all also highly qualified psychologists and medical doctors.
Because the people who keep chasing him threatened his life if he didn't get something posted on Slashdot.

who are you replying to?
I always cheer myself by reminding me that at least I don't have a brain the size of a planet.

The classic ploy of undermarketing yourself to make people curious. You ARE a marketing genius!!!
Well... after reading the forums for a while, Jagercola concluded that many Slashdotters are schizophrenic. Eve1: No, we're not. Eve2: Yes, we are! (Sorry, low fruit. And yes, the joke plays to the obvious misconception about multiple personality disorder being the same as schizophrenia, which it is not. Eve2: Yes it is!)
"I've gotta[sic] disagree with you here." This IS slashdot... so Schizophrenia *is* more common than anything transmitted by another person... especially sexually.

My son recently started to manifest some signs of schizophrenia. Last Year he suddenly announced that he owns Linux and that every body should pay him to use it. At first we where thinking that this was just a premature April fools day but then we realized that he really was meaning it. Thousands of people tried to explain him the ridicule of is claim but unfortunately he was each day more and more in denial.
In one of his crisis, thinking that he was now some kind of Dr Evil he asked a ransom of 3 billion dollars to IBM. He have a friend, who I don't know if he is a pimp or sell drugs or something but the fact is that the guy named Bill have a lot of money and gave him some 30 millions to encourage him to continue to live in is fantasy. Shame on him!
Each day he is getting more delusional and I really start to worry that he hurt himself by doing something stupid or just annoys to much people until is ass get seriously kicked.
Should we check him in a psychiatric institution?

The advice to "take your meds, take your meds," is utter and complete garbage. The only time I began to become better was when I stopped believing in meds and thrust my salvation and deliverance into the hands of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
