There is no link between flu and schizophrenia.
A person experiencing catatonic schizophrenia may exhibit drastically reduced activity levels, characterized by periods of immobility or stupor, where they may remain in a fixed position for extended times. Conversely, they can also display episodes of excessive and purposeless motor activity, such as agitation or repetitive movements. This fluctuation between extreme inactivity and hyperactivity reflects the disorganized nature of their motor behavior and can significantly impact their daily functioning. Overall, their activity levels can be highly unpredictable and vary significantly from one moment to the next.
There is no link between schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease.

I have read an article about the connection between febrile seizures and autism. It suggests that febrile seizures which go on to progress to 'status epilepticus' may cause brain damage and result in autistic traits.

The interaction between serotonin and the amygdala affects emotional processing and regulation by influencing how the brain responds to and regulates emotions. Serotonin helps regulate mood and emotions, while the amygdala plays a key role in processing emotions and triggering the body's response to stress and fear. When serotonin levels are imbalanced, it can impact the amygdala's function, leading to difficulties in emotional regulation and potentially contributing to mood disorders such as anxiety and depression.
Early schizophrenia signs will vary from person to person, with age playing a major role. There is no proven link between early schizophrenia signs and diet.
