• Mental illness is the result of bad parenting.

It depends on your point of view. Type 1 schizophrenia is characterized by positive symptoms, including delusions and hallucinations. Type 2 schizophrenia is characterized by negative symptoms, including flat affect and social withdrawal. Each can cause great difficulties in everyday life.

Because schizophrenia and autism, while very similar in certain ways, are discrete diseases. When autism was first described, doctors thought that it was the same disease. Now, as we know more about both diseases, we see that they are fundamentally different.

You need healthy fats and oils to run your brain and get off all chemical products, perfumes. Use natural laundry detergent, use axe hygiene products, natural soaps, get off processed foods.

There is some link between schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Among schizophrenic patients, 7.8 to 26 percent of them (depending on the study) meet the criteria for obsessive-compulsive disorder. However, not enough research has been done on this for us to know why the rate is so high.

Perception has to do with the senses, especially sight and hearing; our perception of reality is our observation of the world or environment in which we live. If that perception is impaired, this means that we do not perceive reality accurately. We may perceive things that are not really there, or fail to perceive things that are there, or perceive things in an altered way. Impaired perception of reality, if it is severe, is a symptom of schizophrenia, although there are other ways in which the perception of reality may become impaired.

Schizophrenia was originally discovered by Emil Kraepelin in the late nineteenth century and was named dementia preacox because it was discovered as a form of dementia that occurred in mostly young people. Eugen Bleurer later renamed is schizophrenia, "fragmented mind", when discovering that its symptoms were long lasting but could be cured naturally over time, unlike the manic depressive illness and dementia that up until that point they were comparing it to.

I have extreme ADD and take medication. Sometimes when I don't take my medication or I drink caffeine right after I take my medication I hear loud bloody-murder screaming from a bunch of people or sometimes just one or two. I don't know why this happens but it lasts for about 30 minutes or until I can finally get my mind on something else.

I see really bright lights when my eyes are open and see shadows and objects around me when my eyes are closed as well. This is very rare though. Twice a year at least.

I also have REALLY severe anxiety. No doctor I have been to thinks that it is a problem b/c it's so different than regular anxiety. My stomach flips (like having butterflies in your belly) ALL the time. One time in college I was in math class and became SO incredibly happy for no reason I had to cover my mouth so my classmates couldn't see me smile as big as I possibly could. The medication I take for ADD actually helps repress my anxiety and makes me less happy so I can be a normal person and not get excited about insignificant things.

I have read that ADD and ADHD can lead to Schizophrenia. I'm quite certain I don't have Schizophrenia but I definitely do have similar symptoms.

"Schizophrenia is a disease that makes you not be able to think very well. If you have schizophrenia, you might think that people are trying to hurt you even if they aren't. You also might hear or see things that aren't there."

Schizophrenia itself does not involve those symptoms, but the medications associated with schizophrenia can cause weakness and loss of consciousness. Please see your doctor immediately if you lose consciousness without any evident non-serious cause.
