Shocking how distorted human reasoning can get.
No wonder, given some of the hallucinations, there is a high suicide rate.
I wondered about trolling, then realised anyone trolling people that ill has their own problems.

Yeah, it’s a shit of a disorder
One theory I read about is that the voices can be attributed to neurodevelopment deficits in the corpus colossum, that normally mediates between the two hemispheres like a coprocessor (and a weirdly high percentage of schizophrenics are left handed), so they essentially are hearing two different voices. I don’t know how much evidence there is to commend the theory over others, but where they’ve surgically severed it the voices stopped, though it caused a lot of other severe issues as you might expect

I'll bet they found evidence for that trying to treat epilepsy.
Decision making, with separate hemispheres, must be a struggle and coordination pretty much impossible (unless it's muscle memory or something).
Reading some of the posts produced by people who seem floridly psychotic looks disturbingly like the output of 'AI' programs. I've experienced brief episodes but not like those nightmares.

if you have any episodes, and a surprising number of us will have at least one, i think it's like 1 in a hundred though luckily most don't development into the lifelong disorder
anyway, I'd stay away from pot. To me it wouldn't be worth the risk of triggering another one that getting stoned seems to raise. that whole risk/reward doesn't add up, or if you have a close relo with it as there does seem to be some genetic component in the risk factors.
Also, schizophrenia and being a fucking idiot can be independent of each other, and I have a feeling the first sheila on that thread would be nutty even is she wasn't a schizo

Not schizophrenia thankfully, more stress induced.
Anything which warps perception and thought is a bad idea for people struggling with reality to start with.

i hope it wasn't over something unimportant, FCM, like work or relationships
next time you're feeling tense, a lot of behavioural psychologists recommend a wank and a cup of tea, obviously not at the same time
