Experiences with

Schizophrenia

As a person living with schizophrenia, what I'm coming to terms with is that I will die with this illness. No one knows how to cure it. It's another disease which baffles the expensive medical system and society.

I'm really not ready to tell my story I do suffer for a lot of mental illnesses I'm schizophrenia bipolar anxiety PTSD you name it I got it not including my health problems

I feel like different parts of their identity are in control of mt thoughts and behavors at times what is the difference between DID and Schizophrenia

I am depressed, and I have a brother and sister who suffer from schizophrenia, and my father suffers from bipolar. You can imagine how difficult it is.

The psychiatrist told me: you have "schizophrenia" and here "take this medication."---Take this medication indefinitely until you die and there's not much we can study about schizophrenia besides the symptoms since we don't know the cause of schizophrenia. What kind of care and treatment is that?

I never imagined I would get sick this way but I developed schizophrenia like overnight it seems. I woke up very sick. I wish the healthy people out there with compassion and intelligence can fight to change how sick people are treated here in the U.S.

I didn't cause myself to have schizophrenia.

I have a close friend that was diagnosed with schizophrenia about 5 years ago and I want to help them by understanding more about this illness.Is anyone able to help

I suffer from anxiety and schizophrenia and looking for a friendship so I can develop my my mind and get out of my little world I'm in. I would appreciate it to talk daily and develop a good friendship. I would like to suffer with someone and have a good bond.

I have read that b-complex vitamins especially food like spinach and avocado might be able to ease the symptoms of schizophrenia.

"The mental illnesses I have experienced in my life run the gamut from anxiety, panic disorder, depression, psychosis, possibly paranoid schizophrenia and/or bipolar depression to ADHD, and while some were officially diagnosed and others not, I lived through them.

However, I take anti-psychotic medication for schizophrenia. It's a very strong medication YET it doesn't cure me. Anyways, I still take it...doctor's order, otherwise I risk a relapse back to the psychiatric hospital which I don't want. I never want to go back there.

Ifeel like struggled a lot from schizophrenia.I was able to think for myself and for other people,and I am getting tired of explain why I do did? why I react that way

Besides people with Parkinson’s and schizophrenia, this might be beneficial for a range of other conditions affected by dopamine imbalances, such as Huntington’s disease or Tourette’s syndrome.

But I need to understand schizophrenia is scary to people. People don’t know my heart. They just met me.

I have been struggling to cope with life as I also have learning difficulties, Autism, Schizophrenia and have just been told I have Sensory Neuropathy which is making life even more of a battle!

I was diagnosed in 1984 as having schizophrenia and most recently the diagnosis has changed to schizoaffective disorder. I take a mood stabiliser and an anti-psychotic to manage symptoms. I have recently to be honest yesterday was offered counselling with the NHS.

My Son was diagnosed by Amht Schizophrenia aged 18, but I feel he should of been Assessed for ASD. He's now 34yrs old & has Trauma's ontop. Could diagnosises be mixed up.

I find it hard to communicate my feeling as a schizo-affective person. It’s hard to find people who care about the troubles I’m going through. I’m high functioning so people have high expectations of me. I have been characterized as cognitively strong and people expect me to perform at a high level.
