Reality is that its 80% genetic and 20% drugs, stress, infections etc, I read online.

Do you mean the psychosis?

Some consider it neurological but its both, neuro and psychiatric.

I don’t think you took enough drugs to cause permanent sz, sz stops once you stop drugs. I never did drugs and have sz.

I dont think you understand what I am saying. I was saying that we develop a prolonged psychosis because we are born with schizophrenia which makes us think differently.

i hope you are right but idk. ive got hereditary crap too and stuff like that so its complex.

i honestly believe that my many binge eating phases contributed too

We label the psychosis schizophrenia but we should be calling the lifelong condition that.

Well yeah, thats my point. When they describe sz symptoms they dont describe what leads you into it, they just repeat psychosis symptoms.

33

Am I not making sense?

34

They describe it as a similar disorder, but not the same I dont think.

35

Well yeah I also feel that I was born different than normal people, I was born with schizophrenia. I was abnormal since I was born. I was born premature and underweight, I read this worsens schizophrenia.

I think I made a bit confusing when I made the first post. A better of saying what I am trying to put across is:

Is schizophrenia something you have when you are born, and it is just something that makes it hard to get over psychosis. So, when are not in a prolonged psychosis you have problems socially and mentally?

tbh, i dont really understand what you are asking :thinking:

In psychiatric manuals other than DSM, they have simple schizophrenia which has no psychosis, only negative and cognitive symotoms. Some members here have it.
