Yea no one else makes me feel uneasy regarding my mental health prognosis so it’s not so bad.
But I think it is good to talk about it on here anyway, cos I bet some ppl on this forum can relate to such an experience as some have already mentioned.
Research shows that therapy only helps in the first year, are you on maximum dose of your medication? Have you tried that and did your positive symptoms get better?
They probably don’t have definite answers for that, but I think most psychiatrists regard it as irreversible. I have seen a person’s personality completely change overnight. There was this guy at the hospital who would sit around with his head bowed, barely responding to his environment. Then suddenly one day he started talking about how good he felt. He became very talkative and outgoing, and he was happy all the time.

My dr keeps increasing my meds. I’ve been maxed out on at least 10 of them. I’m currently taking 15mg of Haldol per day. I still struggle with being followed though
It’s really hard to say. I’ve heard of a successful pdoc who overcame sz.
I think trauma and genetics do play a huge role in getting sz. It seems like there’s some kind of metaphysical heebie jeebies behind a lot of psychosis and delusions.

I feel early intervention is good.
Or
I feel if one is exposed to these kind of thoughts as sz earlier but not hard on you, one has lesser impact when full onset.
Because I feel it started of very slow for me, as I used to hear people talking to me through music 4 years before onset. But it was not sever at that time.
One more I read was 7 years of brain cycle, where all the cells are replaced, hence what one recollects now will be in my memory or brain for next 7 years.
So I do believe if we make use of the brain not recollecting the past thought patterns , there are chances to reverse it.
Good luck with the appointment. Hope you’ve been brushing your teeth.
My teeth are getting bad. I have no idea if I have a plaque cos I have a bad looking tooth but I feel no pain yet.
Anyway good luck and don’t be scared of your dentist!
Therapy only helps in the first year?
Why does research say that.
It seems odd.

Yes ABC, I agree it increases chances of a smoother recovery according to some research. I remember reading that. Which makes sense as it is the case with physical illness too.

Cool where did you read that. Maybe there’s a little bit of truth to that.

Hmmmmm…
But what if psyhoisis is caused by more than just thought patterns.
But I guess if your thought patterns change then so does behaviour and other stuff anyway.
So maybe we found the cure lol.
Only way to know is to test it out 
I’m sure it is very challenging but maybe well worth the effort.!!

But… Good to keep in mind each mental patient case is unique.
What might work for one patient might not work for another.
Yeah, kinda. Heebie jeebies is like my slang for anything creepy and supernatural.

I did read it some where about 7 years brain cycle, then the rest is my addition 
.
Now I read its not true.
Anyways, faith, hope and belief is a good thing, In the idea of unknown,
Clear example is take my self: The more time I spend on unusual belief sections I lose in touch. By the way also lose in touch when ever I speak any great stuff of my own or shared with others.
lol
Not sure of others, but for me I feel thought patterns play a major role to stability of my mind.
I believe when one change the thought patterns, one change entire self.
Known people will say who is that person, I had an image of him/her which was different 
Yes in process.

Take care

Yes I do agree with this.
But I am unsure how much of an influence other factors can play.
Such as recreational drug use.
Or genetics.
I don’t know how significant they are and maybe it varies in different ppl.
For instance, certain genetics may make some ppl more resistant to recreational drug use and psychosis, whereas others their genetics are prone to psychosis even with one night of drugs perhaps.
Yes I think it varies.
But to conclude I think it’s best not to risk it with recreational drugs.
Unless someone has circumnstantial reasons that I don’t understand.. Because I’ve never really been a recreational regular drug user myself.

Yes I always plan to stay silent,
but I would love to thank the opportunity given to me to speak out my mind in the forum,
and now realising maturity of silents.
Still I want to be heard, I have to bring this urge down and be content.
I was taken to hospital when I was a kid, my dad says I was given more cough syrup than needed, where I started to see things. I still remember one day the entire room was filled with cockroaches, I feel at the age of 2 or three. My dad says that never happened.
My new understanding was, people with sz had consciousness in the womb due to which we feel the lack of something.
Misuse is done even after knowing its a misuse, means something is not in the right understanding at the first place. Its like knowing its a self harm and still do it?
