Which means we can never get rid from negative symptoms coz there is no way for growing brain cells again.wtf
I’ve made great strides recovering from negative symptoms in the past 20 years through medication, therapy, diet, and exercise. There’s always hope. There’s always room for improvement.

A popular, “scientific,” belief for most of the 20th century. Complete toppled by the research done from the 1980s onward (made possible mostly by radiative brain scanning).
Google neuroplasticity to see what I mean. Or try books like these by real scientists:
Then do some or all of the psychotherapies listed below which have been shown to “remodel” the human brain.

I don’t believe the part you quoted @pixel because people like stroke victims have proven it possible to relearn to do things the area of their brain did that died in the stroke. Unfortunately for some however they are so disabled they can’t even do the work to recover because it too is disabled.
hey raghu have u heard of neurogenisis…see this…
of courses we can grow our brain cell…
ur post seems really hopeless…
i want u to watch this…

True, but someone together enough to post on this forum in a second language is also probably together enough to engage in cognitive rehab.

Yeah probably. I’ve dealt with my fair share of people in that situation who could barely write in English when I was making MMR and fans contacted me regularly. It was confirmed when one of their family members contacted us apologizing for how over the top they were at messaging me compulsively.
I think the problem is this: SZ strikes a whole range of the population. If you were stupid before the SZ jumped on your back, you’'ll be more so after the cognitive hit. While you can do a lot to repair SZ symptoms, there’s not much that fixes stupid, and being stupid prevents one from working towards recovery from SZ. Feel sorry for that lot.

This guy in question actually had some form of autism and he was a teenager which probably explains his difficulty with a second language since it’s bad enough trying to master your native tongue when you have a communication disorder.
L’autisme comme un adolescent? Cela sonne … familier. Une deuxième langue, aussi? D’accord.

I don’t even remember what I told the guy’s family member word for word but I’m certain I said something like don’t feel too bad despite he really annoys me at times because he probably is doing the best he can.
These are all hypothetical proposed things which are not into reality.
Here’s an example from reality. I had a student who had to have a lobotomy because of severe seizures. Afterwards, he was a total mess, but after about a year of rehab and therapy, he was exactly back to his old self. The only difference was that he didn’t have seizures anymore. The brain can form new pathways to compensate for damage.
Another example. I had a severe concussion one year ago. Afterward, I couldn’t walk straight, I couldn’t drive, I couldn’t sleep, and I could barely read. But after a lot of cognitive therapy, I am now back to almost 90% of what I once was, and I’m still improving.

Thanks for sharing that video. It gave me some hope and led me to other interesting talks. I will try to apply this knowledge.
