Schizophrenia is NOT a Real Illness; More Psychiatric Survivors will Surface

If you believe things to be true which are provably not true (which is generally the case with schizophrenia), then that is not simply a subjective thing, you objectively have some kind of problem.

I've known a couple of people with this diagnosis and they aren't just cooky or different, they have a crippling disconnect between themselves and reality that makes their life incredibly difficult as well as sometimes making them a danger to themselves and others.

Yes, but where did this disconnect come from?

Hey DCsignals, I would love to have a dialogue about this, because I disagree in most cases.

I have stated that schizophrenia is a subjective issues, because there are no clear biological markers for the alleged disease. It is true that it is not subjective that people suffer. Obviously they have difficulties with life as I pointed out. However, that is not to say that it is a disease in the medical sense.

I hope that helped clear thing up. Thank you for commenting.
