Persistent Negative Symptoms of Schizophrenia

Hello everyone my name is Tom and I’am new here.
Since my psychosis episode about a year ago i lost my emotions, function and my sense of well-being. having hard time dealing with the persistent negative symptoms of schizophrenia makes me seek desperately for help.

NS:

  • Apathy
  • Absent, blunted or incongruous emotional responses
  • Reductions in speech
  • Social withdrawal
  • Anhedonia
  • Lethargy (lack of energy)

I want to ask those of you who are dealing with those symptoms or if you know someone that deal with it and you can describe his/her experience:

  1. What you do during your typical day?
  2. How is your sleep? and what can you do to improve it?
  3. What medications are you taking? and is it useful?
  4. Do you feel some relief or enjoyment of something?
  5. How long you having the persistent negative symptoms?
  6. If you heard about a new study that need volunteers/new method like microdose psychedelic, feel free to share with me.

We have to find a cure for the NS.
Thank you for your time, wish you all the best and may we hear good news soon.

good luck!

Tom

i go to a group or go to stay with my mum.

I am on paliperidone injection.

I get a little enjoyment from walking and arts and crafts group and being around others because I can get lonely. I love spending time with my family.

I have had negative symptoms for years.
