Quote:You can be sane and have schizophrenia.
Not sure that's true; schizophrenia is a psychotic condition,which makes the person insane by definition. A schizophrenic can appear to be quite rational most of the time. Many can function with antipsychotic medication,but so far,there is no cure.*
I became interested in the condition in 1973 when my then girlfriend developed the the condition at age 19. I watched in horror as my darling went insane.
Quote:Schizophrenia (/ˌskɪtsɵˈfrɛniə/ or /ˌskɪtsɵˈfriːniə/) is a mental disorder characterized by a breakdown of thought processes and by poor emotional responsiveness.[1] It most commonly manifests itself as auditory hallucinations, paranoid or bizarre delusions, or disorganized speech and thinking, and it is accompanied by significant social or occupational dysfunction. The onset of symptoms typically occurs in young adulthood, with a global lifetime prevalence of about 0.3–0.7%.[2] Diagnosis is based on observed behavior and the patient's reported experiences.
*the only exception I've heard of was a Canadian woman about 30 years ago claimed to have cured a schizophrenic. She did that by devoting 24/7 for YEARS.
