Though I suppose I did use schizophrenia and psychosis interchangably when I should not have. That's what this blog is about. Encouraging dialogue about disability and sci-fi!

Which isnt to say that this couldnt happen, but during a psychotic break, behavior like a superhero would be unlikely. More likely, theyd be pacing alone in their home locked away and terrified. Another point of contention is that a drug cant make you have schizophrenia. The genesis of the disorder is a combination of genetics and unknown environmental effects. Lastly, I would just like to point out that people with schizophrenia have insecurities like anyone else, but it is most absolutely not the insecurities that drive the disorder. The truth is more of a simple imbalance of chemicals in the brain. For this reason, by correcting this imbalance with medication, we could expect that Les would have a good prognosis, assuming he takes his medication.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11522233157239647915noreply@blogger.com
