What Do You Want to Know About Schizophrenia?
Schizophrenia is a disease that severely affects the way a person thinks, understands, reacts, and sees the world. Man forgets to distinguish between real and unreal life, and his emotions become disorganized, making it difficult for him to lead a normal life. About one percent of the world's population is affected at some point. The rate of this disease is equal for men and women. People living in cities are more likely to get this disease than people living in villages. The disease is rare before the age of fifteen but can start anytime after that. The onset of the disease is most likely between the ages of fifteen and thirty-five.

Why Schizophrenia Is Not a “Brain Disorder”
Schizophrenia is defined by delusions, hallucinations, disorganised thinking, abnormal motor behaviour and negative symptoms in the DSM-V. (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
Delusional Parasitosis
In the year 2021 I had learned a lot about myself, I had experienced some sort of mental collapse. I was extremely lonely, exhausted, and lost. No one could save me, I had to get myself right on my own. So I made efforts, made a few appointments and did tons of research online about different symptoms and what my case could be so I could mention that to a doctor. I saw a psychiatrist and ended up with a prescription for methylphenidate. Apparently I was diagnosed with ADHD and from what I can tell it explains a lot about my behavior. So I went home with my prescription and took it the following evening before work. Suddenly I was able to focus on a task and get actual work done again.

I might be severely politically incorrect, but when I hear Martin Luther Jr's speech "I Have A Dream" I can't help applying it to my life.

I have schizophrenia, and I am sick. Sick of stigma. It cripples me more than the disease, and that’s saying a lot. I’m tired of people with schizophrenia being thought of as violent, creepy, stupid, and incapable.

Be Careful of the Howler
by: Dennis R. Humphreys Scientists have been studying the human mind for years. The one thing they found consistently, is that is an amazing result of evolution. Whether individual, or multiple brains acting as one, they can generate different outcomes than expected. They can increase occurrences when the odds dictate otherwise. When flipping a coin for heads or tails, normally you get a fifty, fifty chance for either coming up. When a person concentrates his attention on the outcome being heads the number recorded can be something more like fifty one percent heads, forty nine percent tails. It isn't a big difference but it's a measurable difference that demands attention. The power of the mind is not fully understood but the best example is what hypnosis is able to achieve... many times it isn't just measurable but there's a physical outcome in reality.

The Heavy Hackberry
It was still dark outside. The wind was howling more than it usually did that June morning in Blighton Virgina. Michael woke up from the heat. The AC had kicked out some time in the middle of the night and he found himself drenched in a puddle of sweat. This coupled with the yellowing walls were an all too familiar scene. He would lay awake in bed for a good fifteen minutes before waking up to start his day and this morning was no exception. It wouldn’t be long before he’d hear his mom burst through the door with the same cutting speech as the day before. “You shouldn’t still be here.” followed by a cold stare. “At 28 years old, you should be out of this house, starting a family of your own. I don’t know where we went wrong with you, Michael.”
Insomniac
Sleep, that is all I want. just an endless slumber away from the world. Away from my physical body. It's now 2 am. Eyes wide open. Sleep please come. I get up to open my laptop. The light from the screen pierces through the darkness. I unlock the screen and stare into the bright void. Another attempt in getting my motivation back. Sleep should set in soon. I open a document and start to type out my plans. I try hard to focus but my mind keeps trailing to where sleep is. Eyes are baggy full of tired but not sleep. the body is sluggish but has no sleep.
fear, love, destroy.
