Schizophrenia Support Group
Schizophrenia is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a mental disorder characterized by impairments in the perception of reality and by significant social dysfunction. Untreated schizophrenia is typically characterized by demonstrating disorganized thinking and experiencing delusions or auditory hallucinations.
The worse that has ever happened to me because I told someone I was schizophrenic was that when we were having a disagreement he told me to "Get my meds checked because you're not making any sense." I haven't spoken to him since btw.
Anyhow, for me it's no big deal. If they know me, and like me, then they know my disease without knowing they know it. Does that make sense?
Schizophrenia is a label the medical community uses to prescribe me medication for my chemical imbalance. I am a person, schizophrenia is just my chemical imbalance.
it sucks!
