External stimulation the nurture part of the nature vs nurture phrase…
No one in my family has it, but I started having problems after very traumatic events.
Environment & specific people brought it out. Maybe genetic too.
I had a drug-induced psychosis related to dextroamphetamine intake, according to the psychiatrist at the time of my hospital visit.
A big issue related to the etiology of psychosis is whether or not psychoactive drug use can be considered a “cause” of schizophrenioa - a disorder that has been traditionally thought of as “independent” of substance use. The jury is out on that question.
I dont really think i have sz. My doc sais i have and i go psychotic if i quit taking pills. So i assume i have sz. But i could be wrong. Maybe i was just born unlucky.
I blame my pdoc’s dx’n me entirely, I didn’t do anything, I’m innocent.
An uncle of mine had it so I had genetic predisposition
I was a really happy and smart kid until I was 14 when I left my home country. I arrived to this new country where I lived a shitty life, no safety, had to witness a lot of crap as a young boy, my life became from perfect to hell, i think that’s the ‘trauma’ my pdoc told me about when I asked him why I had sza
What country are you in now? What happened that made you unsafe?
I dunno. Maybe trauma from childhood abuse, maybe my serious head injury, maybe just bad luck
