Mark Ramirez12 said:Excuse me, and I know this might come across as a bit intrusive—and I truly don't mean to be impolite—but I am genuinely curious: what are the actual symptoms of this condition? How does it actually feel to live through it?
...my aunt used to hear voices back when she was working at her daycare center... and one of my close friends deals with the exact same mental health struggle, though she insists it’s all because of the weed she uses.
😢🤷
You're just making stuff up and losing touch with reality.😢
A rash could show up too.
Thoughts on weed?

Drug dealers. 😱 ☕
I guess you guys are all using, and probably Silence too.

Bill Gates, I really respect you, but I just don't get this stuff. And honestly, I'm not a fan of Umbrella Corp.🙂

The study wraps up with a quick look at how elementary relations of intelligence, psychosis, happiness, and general adaptation all tie together. If you weigh the psychological and ethical sides, it seems clear that general adaptation is mostly about achieving goals rather than just feeling content inside. Being smart definitely helps with adapting to life as people see it now. However, there isn't much of a link between intelligence and developing psychosis. In fact, unless someone actively uses their intellect toward a specific goal, being highly intelligent can actually make it harder to stay happy—sort of like that old saying about how more knowledge brings more sorrow. Since psychosis is basically a failure to adapt, happiness ends up playing a secondary role in the whole process, depending on whether a person can actually act on what they want. As for the link between happiness and psychosis, it’s complicated; it varies depending on the type of psychosis, so there's no easy way to put it simply.

The mainstream media is basically a prison camp
My friend had nose surgery because of a bump, and she actually had her own private bathroom and a TV in her room. Like, a real suite.

Looks like people are following this thread.
Since we won't have a cure for mental illness for at least another hundred years, here’s what’s broken:
At a well-known place like the Mayo Clinic, they lack:
enough doctors. They don't have the time or the bandwidth to actually do the job—it's one doctor for every 500 patients (and that doesn't even count those not currently admitted)
there aren't any day rooms in the wards, so patients just sit there like zombies. Even when you're struggling, you still feel discomfort, pain, sadness... you're still capable of realizing you're stuck in a place that sucks.
you end up pacing through these long hallways where all the patient rooms and doctor offices are lined up together.
the food is gross. It's the same thing every four days, and there's a high chance you'll just gain weight while staying there.
there's zero support for patients who are totally broke or isolated socially and mentally. Some people just don't have the strength to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps.
they don't have locked wards at Cleveland, which is nice I guess.
compared to somewhere like a state hospital where they lock you up, and if you want out, you basically have to break down the door.
I can't think of anything else, honestly.
And instead of actually talking to patients, they just deal with a bunch of bullshit.
The best part is getting outside and grabbing coffee with other patients if it's summer. But obviously, that's only if you have the cash.
because if nobody has come to visit you in ages, you probably don't have anyone to give you coffee money.
ugh☕☕
I've been through electroshock therapy myself. I'd be lying if I said things like Reiki, yoga, bioenergy, exercise, or therapy didn't help, but the pills are the ultimate shit. And if you actually want to get hired, don't you dare mention your diagnosis. It's capitalism now.
So, let's say schizophrenia affects 1% of the world population, and that doesn't even cover everyone struggling with mental health. That's about 65,000,000 people. Do the math yourselves. correction
