Schizophrenia Accusations

You need to read about psychosis. Meaning, the clinical term, its causes, experience, and treatment. You’re conflating it with a critique you seem to have of people’s behavior. If you knew more I don’t think you’d do that.

Hi [name redacted]. I read some of your articles and HN comments. They somewhat remind me of Terry Davis' comments on HN[0]. As you might know, Terry's writings were severely affected by his schizophrenia. If you suspect you might have symptoms of schizophrenia, it would be a good idea to seek diagnostic help and treatment. I am not a mental health professional and could be completely wrong, I hope you don't take it the wrong way.[0] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org&

I have a friend like this, it's unfortunately one of the prominent symptoms of schizophrenia.

"I certainly don't want to engage in any apologetics for Terry's outright racism and conspiracy theories"Indeed, but one may consider this is often part of mental-health symptomatology in many cases.I watched people I knew for decades slowly develop schizophrenic disorders, and they tended to fixate on visible appearances about 10 months before cycling into a full psychotic episode. It is not a permanent state, but rather they would later cycle back into lucid states

The author isn't saying that "these people are absolutely, without any doubt, sick and being paranoid". What he actually said is: "A large number appear to have delusional disorder or schizophrenia, psychiatrists say."

I once had a paranoid schizophrenic friend that suggested such things were happening to him. I think it's a bad move when what were previously paranoid delusions start manifesting themselves as accepted realities.

Psychosis and wishful thinking is pretty disturbing.

tbh, your posts read like the ramblings of a paranoid schizophrenic.

are you schizophrenic? you have the same kind of textual output as someone on the edge of psychosis

The schizophrenics certainly do!https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/23348-paranoi...
