I wish we had some sort of pinned post

About drug usage and psychosis. There’s always posts on here like “I took 50 different hallucinogenics and smoke weed for breakfast and suddenly I have psychosis problems for no known reason!! Do I have sz??”

No you’re just on a lot of drugs that simulate psychosis :cold_sweat::cold_sweat:

Maybe a pinned post for “do I have schizophrenia” in general listing common symptoms & when to be concerned, disclaimer to see a doctor no one here can say for sure, resources about early intervention centers etc

Can we also get one for “I’m SZ and on meds that say I shouldn’t drink, but I like drinking. This is okay, right?”

Or how about “I was diagnosed w sz and I learned that weed is really bad for psychotic disorders and can trigger episodes, but can I still smoke weed??” Or “My symptoms are really acting up and I don’t know why! Maybe my meds stopped working! Also I’m smoking a lot of weed but the weed actually helps make them better don’t argue I’m an exception to the rule”

As soon as I read that ■■■■ about how they still smoking weed and doing anything like that I stop reading their posts.
