| Anbuend, I agree with you on a lot of points; and I do not intend to argue. Yeah, but the "long process of diagnosing" rarely happens, and even when it does, it's not like anyone truly has the expertise or the instruments to figure out what it is. It's guesswork. Some people do long, involved guessw... |

| "Thought disorder," though, is inferred from speech. And having speech that sounds like that, does not always mean a person is thinking incorrectly, only that they are forming words in an unusual way. That is where a long process of diagnosing comes in. To definitely infer the difference between a ... |

| ...but if I understand schizophrenia correctly, the auditory hallucinations experienced by a schizophrenic tend to be much more concrete and make more sense. Actually, that's not always true. A lot of Schizophrenic Hallucinations can be vague and hard to understand (mumbled in a way). A big way to ... |

| Makes a lot of sense that "Schizophrenia is just a mental breakdown". In some case studies, it is said that many people can posess a gene (gene or possibly the same neurological defect) that causes schizophrenia, but not all people show symptoms because it is not brought out. For instance, two peopl... |

| I hear like...voices in my head when I'm trying to sleep. And other stuff, I don't remember what. Is that night-time psychosis, or am I schizophrenic? It's just at night, not during the day, and it doesn't happen all the time. Considering it happens after sleep, it is most likely Hypnagogia. Hypnag... |

| I know what you mean, Nomaken. Although, I usually refer to my pets by their name and only that. I feel it gives them an individual identity. After all, as a child I didn't like the name "my girl", as my mother so many times referred me as. So why treat my animals (friends) any differently? :) It's ... |

| Not much of a tattoo person, but I'm getting one on my shoulder blades when I get the courage (doesn't look like any time soon :? ). I had my ears pierced twice. Once when I was two, and once at age ten. I had my eyebrow pierced, but incidentally they are known not to last too long (fell out after a... |
