Does schizoaffective disorder lower IQ?
Of 129 individuals with first-episode schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder, 25% showed stable low IQ, 31% showed stable IQ in the average/high range, and 44% demonstrated intellectual deterioration by 10 points or more.Nov 24, 2009
I feel like I’ve lost at least 20 points or maybe more…
you can t feel it of deteroration of your iq .usually its insidious
Really? It felt very apparent and real to me shortly after my medications built up, my psychosis was over and I couldn’t hear my own voice in my head. I had to essentially relearn how to think. Now ideas don’t pop into my head as frequently as they did, thoughts are much less complex.
usually exercises omega 3 acids and reading help to stop deterioration of iq.but as i say before you can not feel it.like usually stupid people they are not aware of their stupidity.
I was born with an imagination without intelligence. In life I gathered intellect but went too far. My mind expanded until it flatlined. Now I know without knowing and cannot understand anything. I will leave the earth as I entered it, an imagination without intellect.
You were correct, I just perceive myself as less intelligent. I did an online IQ test that I did ten years ago and scored 8 points lower than before. They didn’t take my age into consideration so imagine that’s typical.
I guess IQ might not be the correct measurement I am looking for. My thoughts have certainly become less complex since I have been medicated.
I’ve declined cognitively since being diagnosed with schizoaffective but it might be due to aging as well.
It’s hard to say.
But yes having schizophrenia and schizoaffective can cause cognitive impairment
This happens quite often
I feel like I’ve definitely lost points
But what is IQ???
I too feel I am less intelligent with less ideas and ability to create something is poor. What I can do is learn from others and learn few things from online or books. But if it gets complex I tend to give up.
IQ is something different, it may be high or low. But, I feel it does not determine the overall intellectual abilities in various different scenarios.
Yes,
This.
My uncle is a proud member of mensa.
He mentions it to no end.
Without doubt, he is one of the biggest dumbasses I’ve ever met.
In real life.
He got married to a stranger because his dreams told him to.
(Divorced)
He’s never, ever had a legit job.
The only job he ever had was making videos for religious schools about the dangers of fill-in-the-blank.
Got fired because he made one about hip hop, got sued for using the footage without permissions.
I seriously think IQ is ■■■■■■■■.
Complete ■■■■■■■■.
Lol
I have 142 and I’m a total imbecile. I would qualify for Mensa if I tried.
Why bother it’s a racist institution. Based on bizarre limitations
in here its mention that chat gpt 4 has 155 iq score now and it will be 3000 times better in couple of years
I was 25 before I learned to spell IQ correctly.
That’s either a very scary thought or a very exciting thought. Depends if AI is on our side or not.
