— Are you the... bleblebla... yes, no maybe. Can we just cut to the chasse? I just want my peace. Do I deserve it, maybe not, but I’m no longer looking for trouble so you shouldn’t either.

She walked over to the edge of the rooftop of the 15-story apartment complex where she lived. It was really dark, but I guess that’s the distinguishing feature of night. The stars above shone brighter today, right? Or she hadn’t been out much to notice their comparative brightness anyways. There was barely any movement below. Some cars passed by and people stepped out of them, walking into the building, but beyond that, even the birds dared not animate.

My Experience in the Airport as a Sunflower Lanyard Wearer
A sunflower lanyard indicates in a subtle way that the wearer has an invisible disability, something that is unseen, for example, autism, anxiety, or in my case, schizophrenia. When the opportunity arose for me to go to New York, I was immediately concerned about how I would handle the travel aspect of it, specifically the airports. Airports had always made me feel stressed and nervous but the biggest difference in this trip is that I would be taking it alone. I wasn’t sure this was even something I was capable of.

Shams Ul QammarPublished 9 months ago in PsycheUnraveling the Metamorphosis of Schizophrenia Biology
Introduction: Schizophrenia is a chronic psychiatric illness with heterogeneous clinical presentation and complex, multifactorial neurobiological underpinnings. While antipsychotic medications provide symptomatic relief, emerging research indicates these pharmacotherapies may also induce unintended transformations in schizophrenia biology that pervasively impact systemic physiology. This raise concerns that antipsychotics could have ambiguous mutagenic effects, instigating global somatic mutations that insidiously modify genotype and phenotype across organ systems. Elucidating this risk requires novel theoretical frameworks combined with multimodal research strategies to unravel antipsychotic-induced biological transformation as a process of global mutagenesis with profound implications for our understanding of schizophrenia pathogenesis.
