When I explain it, I define it as a life-long illness such as diabetes and heart disease. With Parkinson’s disease, there is a lack of dopamine, with schizophrenia, there is an abundance. Part of my particular diagnosis is schizoaffective disorder, and that is schizophrenia and bipolar combined. That means I can hear things, see things, smell things that are real or not. Some days I don’t want to get out of bed and other days I think I am Superman.

Well for the positive symptoms you perceive things that aren’t there. Then for delusions you believe things that seem to not be backed by the facts. I think this is what people will have a hard time empathizing with. It is like you cannot not believe it.
Don’t feel like all the negative symptoms but it is like a part of you is missing from what a neurotypical person has.
