Japan and awareness about schizophrenia

How people in Japan act towards a person with schizophrenia. Can any person from japan reply to this???

I’m not from Japan, but I know it is not good. I think it is heavily stigmatized there compared to most places in the world.

They changed the name of schizophrenia to something else. Like “social integration disorder” or somesuch. That’s all I know.

Which countries do you prefer to study abroad???

Sounds like it improved social understanding and got rid of a lot of stigma.

Hmm,

I’ve always wondered what to call; ‘I have a few personalities, some may be hidden, some may come to light, dont piss me off or there’ll be a fight’ type of thing.

Yeah, the split mind disease wording makes me think of multiple personality disorder. I think that’s a totally different thing though. You could argue that you have several personalities if you have schizoaffective, but it really seems like the same personality, just in a happy or sad mode.

Happy, sad, depressed, horny, confused etc.

I can argue that there’s a personality for every emotion.

Yeah I used to be told that back when I was bipolar and didn’t have any SZ symptoms yet. When I was happy I was a force of nature and when I was depressed I was a total bring-down for everybody around me.

I agree.

But that’s like only 5% of our brain lol.

Can you imagine the possibilities of the human brain if we were to develop personalities for every human emotion ?

That’s what I think using 90% of our brains mean.

IMO.
