as a young kid I didn’t think it could happen to me. nore did my folks. so my ? is
There was no stopping this for me.
Could have avoided it. That’s mostly what I think about.
i think, speaking from personal experience, whether you see it coming or not, you could tell anyone you think you see it coming but they won’t believe you bc you haven’t experienced your break so they don’t take you seriously!
mentally, maybe you could stop it… maybe not. i guess i’m not sure.
Regardless of what they say on here…my pdoc told me that doing drugs prior to being schizophrenic may “speed up” the time you finally become psychotic, but the drugs you do can’t cause schizophrenia.
to answer the question, no I don’t think you can stop getting schizophrenia.
I don’t think it’s preventable. Even if you saw it coming.
I have heard that taking fish oil can make it less possible in that case but that it doesn’t work for everyone.
No. Because I was born with it.
I sometimes wonder if it could have been avoided had I been completely sober all my life, I’m not sure I could have been completely sober all my life.
Apparently, if you are deemed as at risk for developing schizophrenia and get intervention and go on an AP before the first episode of psychosis, you may never have an episode. Though I’m fairly sure at this point in research that is theoretical, as it is rather difficult to prove that the intervention worked vs the person just naturally never developed psychosis even while having risk factors, which happens.
no way you can stop it
