i'm almost certain a person who doesn't have the predisposition can develope the disease. any human that is made to stay awake 7 days with no sleep will exhibit signs of schitzophrenia.

they say that short term symptoms of schitzophrenia is whats referred to as psychosis. the same thign that happens after a drug experience, the period of instability and insanity while one recovers back to their normal state.

and i think its entirely reasonable to assume that someone who is subjected to these psychosis/psychotic experiences repeatedly over an extended period of time is likely to see an increase in the symptoms in severity and frequency.

i.e. , the psychosis lasting longer, and happening more frequently. thus leading towards the developement of schitzophrenia

You don't have to quit your job to learn about these things. If this is something you have a true interest in, finding the time wouldn't be too difficult. It would be just like any other hobby, only this one could actually help yourself and others around you.

You're right I think causing psychosis could trigger more, like a misfire and then a jam after that

In laymens terms though the GABA is supposed to inhibit something from making a copy of a strand of DNA somewhere and instead it misses and there's a double

I can see someone using drugs being identically symptomatic to schizophrenia, but what would be the treatment for this type of person? I don't know that it would be treated the same way as those with a known case and diagnosis of the disease. Damage to the brain may be a cause, but there's no way to tell until the drug use stops.

Staying awake for 7 days is not schizophrenia. It has the same symptoms but it's not the same disease. That's a silly connection. The common cold and the spanish flu have the same symptoms, not the same disease.

I'm actually going to work on this, I work with computers so that's already a pretty good start to this. I think the human brain is just a computer anyways.

You probably didn't realize something as silly and unimportant as that statement would inspire me, but it did.

If I can help even one person I can die happy. Psychosis is so horribly misunderstood

It is totally false to beleive that, I know of many people with no schizo in there family tree that got it cause of drugs, albeit temporarily

well this is actually a pretty good point and something thats interesting to consider. similar symptoms, different condition/cause. hrmm!

a few concerns that rise out of this are: how are they sure baout hte family history? maybe they carried the gene dormantly and never actually became schitzophrenic.

Also, the use of temporarily. my understanding is that schitzophrenia is permanent. it could have possibly just been psychosis or some other kind of symptoms

If schizophrenia is permanent, I don't think the symptoms are. People on this website have claimed to no longer suffer from delusions.

I'm pretty sure that's akin to people with cancer, you don't ever not have cancer, you just have cancer in remission, right?

I dunno, I'm retarded. It's almost 4 am and I haven't been sleeping.

Catch me goin' psychotic soon.

The brain is so mother fucking fascinating

My doctor told me everyone's brain chemistry is different. We all react differently to drugs and they affect us in unique ways. One of the things that can happen when you take a drug is you get some prediposed condition brought to life.

That's probably the first thing you've posted I've agreed with.

But no one is arguing that doesn't happen, so the point is moot.

In my experience tho out of any drug I have taken, and this is just me, weed seems to be the one that used consistently that could defs bring out schizophrenia or depersonalization or stuff like that.

It's no different than a mechanic having knowledge about engines, but this is with the brain. A mechanic probably worked on cars his whole life and probably has a few at home. Everyone has had a brain since birth, and it would pointless to live your life without knowing the basics of how your personal engine between your ears operates.

Meth Psychosis is a billion times worse than weed paranoia.

But like I said about the diathesis stress model, being too high and violently paranoid is pretty fucking stressful, thus causing a psychotic break.

weed is more or less what triggered my first initial schitzophrenic episode or saga or w/e you call it. i first became schitzophrenic as a result of smoking weed. iw as doing other drugs too at times and had alot of stress at the time too, but weed was the main potentiator and the constant between all of it. weed is what created my paranoia


later i got stabilized and improve. but lately i've damaged myself alot with a few years of meth abuse, combined again with strenuous life problems.


it seems when i get stressed and pressured is when my symptoms start to present themselves i guess.


the lame thing is that now im struggling to recover properly from my current situation with the damage i've done with meth and just life circumstances.

i whimsically  scanned a sentence that suggested schizophrenia could be linked to a feline parasite by the name of toxoplasmosis.
