Most schizophrenics do not live fairly normal lives" and also die over a decade faster than the average person due to factors such as not nearly enough treatment and increased suicide rates
Schizophrenia is one of the worst illnesses to have. It shaves off about 15 years of a lifespan on average and it basically takes a full team of people available 24/7 giving comprehensive care to someone with it
In other words, this illness is historically difficult for any modern healthcare system to properly deal with. Especially when it involves a grown adult that is more or less harmless to others that probably doesn't want to be under surveillance
The worst part about schizophrenia is that their reality is totally incongruent with anyone else's, even other schizophrenics, and so they feel as if they're just walking on clouds all the time because there's no common ground to communicate their experiences
If you think you'd find listening to a schizophrenic "interesting" then you simply haven't listened to one long enough
Very often they see connections in things that others don't, which is alienating, and so to them it feels like everyone else is living in a tiny world (which causes people to romanticize this illness, even though the reality is purely tragic)
There are perhaps no other illnesses that so effectively remove your ability to be truly understood by others
Talk to one and see them try to respond to questions while with the voices in their head, often looking so exhausted and in need of rest
"Schizophrenia is the most serious of all mental conditions and is characterized by repeated relapses and significant functional impairment. Diagnosis requires a psychotic episode that lasts at least 6 months. Patient lack of compliance will inevitably lead to relapse and may have serious consequences. [...] The potential for comorbidities further adds to the complexity of the illness and will require additional psychiatric and/or medical treatment. These further complicate already arduous clinical circumstances. Patients with schizophrenia need comprehensive care, compassion, and support. They deserve this." - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4106628/
Calling my bookie to place a bet on young women pretending to be schizophrenic because faking autism, tourette syndrome, and whatever illness du jour comes and goes for attention will no longer be in vogue
Besides, 99% of women with Tourette's are faking it. Just like with autism
Its funny but for all the wrong reasons. It’s okay, you can laugh
If you got this far, between you and I, a lot of schizo posting on the internet is manufactured to drown out actual schizos as a whole to make sure another Terry Davis isn't recognized
