Your opinion about impulse control

Does SZ affect it?

Do we became more unstable cause of SZ or no?

Some articles mention it as one of the symptoms and some don’t.

I personally believe some things for me became harder to control. I become angry faster and most of the times I become somewhat abusive in words.

Also, sadness. I cry way more often than did before.

So yeah I believe I control my emotions and impulses less

Yes I believe it’s bipolar symptoms. On a mood stabilizer it is much better.

I always thought it could be somewhat connected to bipolar.
But my pdoc says it’s not bipolar at all. Because I tried antidepressants and they had 0 effect (though I experience very low moods from time to time)

I think I have more control over some impulses and less with others. When it comes to smoking cannabis or cigarettes I have no impulse control or very little.

Controlling my eating is a problem on medication because I cannot run any more.

Running used to regulate my appetite and keep calories off too etc.

I think it affects impulse definitely. I feel like it may have to do with with dopamine receptors. Meds don’t help either

For me schizophrenia made me unstable and angry for years. I had very little impulse control until I got on the right meds.
