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.

In the past month of February, I have had a few hallucinatory episodes both auditory and visual. I remember one episode where one night, I thought I heard someone knocking on my bedroom window at midnight. Then I thought I heard voices talking outside or it might of been in my head, I don't know for sure. For visual hallucinations, I remember off and on seeing flashing white lights and shadowy shapes. These hallucinations cause me to feel confused and unsure of what I am seeing and hearing. As far as medication sometimes I am not sure if 20 mg of Abilify is strong enough or working well enough to help my disorganized/paranoid schizophrenia.
My psychiatric nurse has told me before that my medication Abilify can help prevent most hallucinations or delusions. But it cannot take away all my hallucinations and delusions. I understand that my Schizophrenia medication is not perfect. I hope that the medication will help me more in the coming month of March and that I will be feeling better.
Take care,

I invited Bill to have dinner with me last Sunday. He wasn't willing to drive 7 hours to mid Michigan and teased me with his beautiful ribs!!! So, of course I ate alone and had cedar salmonĀ


I do hope you start feeling better! We care about you!
