Paranoid Schizophrenia Ilness or Not?

Symptoms: Delusions are defined as firmly held beliefs that are untrue, not shared by others in the culture, and not easily modifiable.

Well wearing tin foil hats by so called Schizophrenic's is one of the most common things they do, so that is a belief shared by lots of others. So they aren't mentally ill, they are just eccentric.

No, they're pretty fuckin' out of their minds.  I had an aunt that scared other relatives with a knife.

Way to bump a 5 day old thread.

It's not even a week old. Fuck off, spammer.

Sounds like she was just trying to lulz them up. And your family sounds like fags to me, bro; who'd be scared of an old biddy with a knife?

OP: maybe we're the "crazy" ones and these so-called "schizophrenics" are perceiving reality clearly. Evidence of this is seen in their advanced fashion sense you mentioned. Hats are a great fashion accessory with a lot of versatility and rangge, if done right. Us so called "sane" people are walking around in beanies and baseball caps, if we're even wearing hats at all! Think about it.

You made the post that simply read "lol" in a thread in a thread that was way off the 1st page and you're calling me a spammer? At least have the courage to say "bump" when you want to bump your thread, donkeyhole.

I am a diagnosed schizophrenic and can tell you that there is something to OPs theory. I never had any attributed symptoms of the like "Hallucinations" or "Hearing voices" but some crazy ass paranoia.
But certainly nothing that couldn't be fixed with some calm talking to someone trustworthy.

Imo it is nothing but behaviour that is deemed unacceptable in society, exploited by big pharma to sell their products which makes it into a treatable "disease".

I didn't post >>3

Then you should have directed your post at >>3

>>12
You said "Way to bump a five year old thread." That was my gripe. Instead, you should have said for >>3 to use "bump" instead of "lol."

>>13
You said "Way to bump a 5 year old thread."
I said "Way to bump a 5 day old thread." Which it was.

>>14
My second point still stands.

You know what doesn't stand?  Paralysed people.  Oh yeah, I went there
