Vitamin A, eh? Add that to the ever growing list of supplements that a schizophrenic needs.
lol this stuff makes me laugh. I wish diet would help as much as people think!
I used to eat handfuls handfuls of spinach all the time it didnt do anything. and that is very high in vitamin A
Trouble with Vitamin theory was that no one was prepared to do the research.
Not sure it has much substance because over the years you’ve heard a lot about this sort of stuff.
I’m not running out to buy vitamins! Find it hard but prove me wrong!
If only it was that simple!
I await serious science on this and other points!
Me too me too me too 
The missing perspective (at least in this thread) is a holistic one. Resolution requires attention to body, mind, soul, and social dynamics … not any one ‘ingredient’ from that list should be the total focus, all together now, all we are saying, its not just one piece.
I think diet might effect the way we feel. I have to eat more healthier.
Ah Christ, i need to take more vitamins now 
I thought b12 was good enough
“While it’s still not entirely clear what causes schizophrenia, 80% of the risk appears to be inherited with the remaining 20% caused by environmental factors, such as infection in utero, and psychosocial factors including neglect and traumatic experiences,” Professor Cairns explained.
I would argue its the complete opposite
wtf do they come up with this information?
I get all my vitamins from taking a multivitamin once a day.
I also take extra vitamin D but I have a deficiency.
I like sweet potatoes. They have vitamin a apparently
im living off boiled eggs and doritos though .
nice stuff
I am very sorry for asserting my “beliefs”. I had no right in doing that. I shouldn’t really care… I have six pack of beer left, some anti-psychotic drugs, and a gallon of whisky and fresh pack of cigs and an all I can eat vegetables and ■■■■■■■ vitamins GALORE. Sorry, extremely sorry, every day for thinking these problems are not solved with one god damned material thing after the other. I guess I am the ultimate Troll in this collection of facke online identities. BAN me for another !@ MONTHS SO i CAN GET TO MY OWN PERSONAL DRUG PROGRAM. The one that permanently removes me from every conversation.
Side Effects & Safety
Vitamin A is LIKELY SAFE for most people when taken by mouth or given as a shot into the muscle in amounts less than 10,000 IU daily.

Vitamin A is POSSBILY UNSAFE when taken by mouth in high doses. Some scientific research suggests that higher doses might increase the risk of osteoporosis and hip fracture, particularly in older people. Adults who eat low-fat dairy products, which are fortified with vitamin A, and a lot of fruits and vegetables usually do not need vitamin A supplements or multivitamins that contain vitamin A.
Long-term use of large amounts of vitamin A might cause serious side effects including fatigue, irritability, mental changes, anorexia, stomach discomfort, nausea, vomiting, mild fever, excessive sweating, and many other side effects. In women who have passed menopause, taking too much vitamin A can increase the risk of osteoporosis and hip fracture.
There is growing concern that taking high doses of antioxidant supplements such as vitamin A might do more harm than good. Some research shows that taking high doses of vitamin A supplements might increase the chance of death from all causes and possibly other serious side effects.
There is not enough information available about the safety of vitamin A when applied to the skin or under the tongue.
Vitamin A is LIKELY SAFE for children when taken in the recommended amounts. The maximum amounts of vitamin A that are safe for children are based on age:
- Less than 2000 IU/day in children up to 3 years old.
- Less than 3000 IU/day in children ages 4 to 8 years old.
- Less than 5700 IU/day in children ages 9 to 13 years old.
- Less than 9300 IU/day in children ages 14 to 18 years old.
Vitamin A is POSSIBLY UNSAFE for children when taken by mouth in high doses. When amounts greater than those recommended are taken, side effects can include irritability, sleepiness, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of consciousness, headache, vision problems, peeling skin, increased risk of pneumonia and diarrhea, and other problems.
Special Precautions & Warnings:
Pregnancy and breast-feeding : Vitamin A is LIKELY SAFE for pregnant or breast-feeding women when taken in recommended amounts of less than 10,000 IU per day. Larger amounts are POSSIBLY UNSAFE . Vitamin A can cause birth defects. It is especially important for pregnant women to monitor their intake of vitamin A from all sources during the first three months of pregnancy. Forms of vitamin A are found in several foods including animal products, primarily liver, some fortified breakfast cereals, and dietary supplements.
Excessive use of alcohol : Drinking alcohol may increase vitamin A’s potentially harmful effects on the liver.
Anemia : People who are anemic and have low levels of vitamin A might need to take iron along with a vitamin A supplement to treat this condition.
Disorders in which the body does not absorb fat properly : People with conditions that affect fat absorption, such as celiac disease, short gut syndrome, jaundice, cystic fibrosis, pancreatic disease, and cirrhosis of the liver, are not able to absorb vitamin A properly. To improve vitamin A absorption, these people should use vitamin A preparations that are water-soluble.
A type of high cholesterol called “Type V hyperlipoproteinemia” : This condition might increase the chance of vitamin A poisoning. Do not take vitamin A if you have this condition.
Intestinal infections : Intestinal infections such as hookworm can reduce how much vitamin A the body absorbs.
Iron deficiency : Iron deficiency might affect the body’s ability to breakdown and use vitamin A.
Liver disease : Too much vitamin A might make liver disease worse. Do not take vitamin A if you have liver disease.
Malnutrition : In people with severe protein malnutrition, taking vitamin A might result in having too much vitamin A in the body.
Zinc deficiency : Zinc deficiency might cause symptoms of vitamin A deficiency to occur. Taking a combination of vitamin A and zinc supplements might be necessary to improve this condition.
One of the missing ingredients is willpower.
As in, I will try even though I may likely fail. I will try again even if I’ve failed ten times. I will overcome this illness and claim my rightful place as a success in society.
Lots of trips to the biffy, I’ll wager.
regularity is guaranteed 
Thank you! 
Don’t be irresponsible and run out to buy high doses of any vitamins, guys.
I wish you’d said something before I rented the U-Haul.
