SOME OF YOU PEOPLE believe schizophrenia means split personality and/or self-expression.

Gosh dang, wake up! Schizophrenia is a dreaded dis-ease and the people suffering with it often self-medicate (drink, do drugs) as a way to escape the hallicinations; that is why doctor prescribed drugs are important; it can curb or elimate the victims illusions.

Also, paranoid schizophrenia is the most dangerous of all mind illness’ known to man!

What happened to cause these diseases are unknown. The brain is a mystery; but think of it, as diabeties or heart disease; only affecting the very top portion of the human body then add to that behavior, language and daily interaction failure and you have mental illness.

Schizophrenia is not a personality or character flaw. It is a MEDICAL problem and have empathy for the mothers and fathers and sisters and brothers that have to watch one of their loved ones with it.

I feel so sorry for Bellejo Dux. She has experienced the full impact of schizophrenia. She deserves better. Let’s all pray for her to escape that problem.

I fully agree with dava money but I wish that I had more confidence in the people who work on the problem. I studied abnormal psychology in college almost 60 years ago, and have not seen that anything has changed in the field except that they have developed antipsychotic drugs.

Tech sounds totally schizophrenic to me.

I wonder what personal experiance Gumby has had with schizophrenia? He talks like he knows everything, but nothing that he says tells me that he has experienced it himself or has been close to somebody who has it. I have had the good fortune of escaping schizophrenia myself, but have been closely associated with several people who had it. I am appalled at how little the psychiatric profession knows about the subject, and how they keep changing the definitions to suit economics. I have dealt with the paranoia, disperceptions, and hearing of voices of schizophrenics, and in some cases have had to protect myself from them. I wish that I had some clout in the Government Medical/Psychological area to try to bring some science to the subject.

It is apparent that the responders to this article have not been around schizophrenia, which is a disorder equivalent to regular earth quakes for a neighborhood. Most of us, 99 out of 100, are able to count on stability; gravity, revolution of planets, hot/cold, safe/dangerous that we do not conceptualize the irrational, unpredictable flush of experiences the person with schizophrenia must navigate. A Beautiful Mind, the movie captured it well.
I applaud those who work with this disorder and those that suffer the trauma’s wake upon those nearest and dearest.
For the rest of us who are mercifully free of the disorder, let us give thanks and remain open to learn from those who travel their own worlds without being endangered by the differences.

If life was fair and not a nightmare more millions maybe this wouldn’t exist. Most people think they are “normal”? No they are players, dumbed down morons being programmed by corporate bankers, criminals, graft sucking politicians, crooked cops, because I know all about the scamster industry and so-called mental illness. MKULTRA anyone? Yeah, money making corporate schemes to put anyone who dares question away. How about this? How many think 911 waa a guy in cave who wasn’t even there? Yeah proves my point, dumbed down or insane or scared. Kennedy tried to stop the banksters who just stole over 24 trillion and control both parties, they blew out his brains in Dallas. Surge all your idiot kids to Iraqistan or God knows where-after all they’re normal.

But what does one do when the ‘patient’ hears dreadful voices asking him to do terrible things? What does one do with a patient who has attempted suicide twice that you know of. What does one do with a patient who has a personality transformation so extraordinary it is almost difficult to believe. What if this patient seems intent on proving ‘you’ are the psycho. I have never met the ‘other’ personality who is the person most others know. I only know the psychotic one. Fortuantely my son has a record: he is an alcohalic, a drug addict, a diagnosed schizophrenic, and has done time. But dealing, often day to day, with the symptoms of this dreadful disese are exhausting. Particularly when I meet with those who know only his ‘other’ personnality and have only heard the lies he tells about me. I must repeat: you know nothing about this disease unless you have lived with or around one with the disease. Bettejo Dux

I have a son who has been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia.. To all of you I will say this: until you have lived with or around people suffering from thie disorder you don’t know anything about the disease.
