This is an idea i had and its basically what i have been thinking about myself for a long time,
I thought if i was given a stronger upbringing and more involved in my community that i may have built up a mental resilience to the stress and stuff that led to my illness, i’m talking about in the home by the parents as well as at school,
Parents are supposed to pass down their strengths (and maybe weaknesses to their kids) so mentally strong parents instilling their strengths into their children helping them to develop a resistance to or a resilience to mental problems in order to prevent it.
I think that parents passing down resilience to mental problems might work if it were simply a psychological problem. However, since genetics and biology are involved there’s not much your parents could pass onto you to prevent that. No matter your upbringing, can’t escape genetics. Just my thoughts on the subject.
i think you have to work it out with his help, i dont think he is aloud to give his opinion,
@disciple i like to believe that even with the genetic markers for sz that with a stronger mentality you may be able to stop the onset of it ever happening and prevent sz ever developing.
i believe my schizophrenia was born out of weaknesses in my brain and if my brain was stronger, i.e i was more psychologically adept then it could stop early onset or any onset,
yes a strong character to me is more psychologically proficient and more able to fight off/deal with unwanted thoughts or symptoms.
I used to be very mentally tough, played sports competitively, studied hard, worked hard, played hard. But I was cut down by this terrible disease. I think that my mental control helped to deal with it, but there’s no way to think yourself out of sz
i hear you but i dont know why i cant strengthen my brain to the point where my thinking is more rational, i need my meds atm but i cant help thinking maybe one day that after building my thoughts and becoming stronger psychologically that there might be a chance to not have sz anymore,
i thought i was quite a strong little character but i couldnt have been that strong enough, i guess other factors were involved but here is an article i read that i like about building mental strength, it talks about the mind as if it were a muscle that we need to exercise a bit like our physical health.
my med treats my symptoms, i rely on this med and if i dont take it then they come back.
right now i am trying to strengthen my mind in lots of different ways in the hope that i may one day be mentally strong enough to be able to cope without meds,
i have read a story of a man who did it, he had sz and he got better and he has a job, wife, kids, house now.
