Huxley was totally spot on in most of what he said about these experiences, his words are just as relevant now as they were when he was alive :D

Je m'inscris!IJesusChrist a dit:I am not schizophrenic, I have never hallucinated, but I have a very strong sense that I would be, if I ever had. (i.e. I have everything but the hallucinations)

I'm sorry, but whoever told you having hallucinations is a necessary requirement for being diagnosed as a schizophrenic was wrong. It is one of the 5 symptoms mentioned in DSM-IV (Symptoms: Delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, grossly disorganized or catatonic behaviour, negative symptoms), but to be diagnosed as a schizophrenic you only have to have two out of five symptoms present a significant amount of time during a 1-month period.
In that case, if what you are saying is true ("I have everything but the hallucinations"), then yes you do have schizophrenia.. according to DSM-IV(!!)
Schizophrenia is a weird disease though, and might be the consequence of a major fault in the way our society works.. or rather thinks..
ah well, just my two cents, too many people believe all schizophrenics are ahveing visual hallucinations
mrvitorsky a dit:Wikipedia isn't a diagnosing tool. Yes you can have two out of 5 and be consider a schizophrenic. But generally a psychiatrist try's to determine the intensity and the interference of such symptoms. Cause if you think about it, with the 2 out of 5 rule any devote christian with add is a schizo.
i always love your crystal clear posts!Forkbender a dit:If it stops people from being at ease, then it is a disease. I think that most people who are diagnosed as a schizophrenic, have problems dealing with the world and society and may therefore be regarded as having a disease. This doesn't mean that it is wrong or unnatural, but I think that saying it is not a disease is questionable at least. If a person has some symptoms like disorganized speech or catatonic behavior, I'd say that that person isn't healthy, not in harmony with his/her environment.
