Is It Truth to Cure Schizophrenia Need 2 Years? Posted: 02-21-06 04:10am
Hi:
i am a new patient of schizophrenia. I
use risperdal for almost 9 months now. I
got told recently that to cure "it" need 2
complete years of being patient.
Only want to know is it truth or now?

Everybody is different. That is why they
recover at different times. Sometimes
not. Schizophrenia may not be a disease
at all, but only a symptom that will
eventually go away. People who have
brain damage are susceptible,as well as
people who have a nervous breakdown, or
highly emotional, or who are malnurished.
It's complicated. As of today, it has
not been proven to be a disease. People
who suffer from hallucinations, can
recover within few days to couple of
years. It depends on the individual. I
hope this helps. How long did you you
have the symptoms before taking risperdal?

I really believe you can recover. Your
hallucinations will decrease over time.
Your symptoms are probably due to your
fathers death. Your emotions got
overloaded. Is your fathers death still
affecting you? That can have an affect on
your recovery. As you go down on your
meds, you need to change your lifestyle
some. You need to make your life simple,
relax, and enjoyable. You need to eat
healthier, take vitamins, oils like
flaxseed oil or fish oil, and exercise.
They all make the brain in good shape.

My Father's Death Is Not Affecting Me Now Posted: 02-22-06 04:17am
As my brother promise to taking care of
me. The major I care now is his health.
I also want to have my own little
business, so I won't depend on my brother
that much.
So I should eat more fish or taking fish
oil.
Thanks a lot. U r a great help :d

Fish Oil Is Easier Posted: 02-22-06 12:09pm
You need to eat a lot of fish to equal a
tablet of fish oil.

"people who have brain damage are

"
what, all these things fit me.
I have braindamage?
I've always been that way, but always been
very intelligent(doesn't mean to brag) n
creative. Never been anything wrong with
me, except for a 2year long permanent
depression after the lost of my love and
dad.
I cried daily for months and smoked weed
daily 2years. I'm only 16 soon 17.
I've had several episodes of fullblown
panic attacks and
depersonalization/derealization lately
too, all started 2months ago.
This mean i'm about to turn to a
uncureable schizophrenic?
Also my dad was diagnosed schizophrenic,
but I think the psychaitrist were wrong,
cause he only went "crazy" like once a
year after toomuch amphetamine.
Anyone, am I going schizo?

All i'm saying is that they have a higher
chance in getting hallucinations. If you
get hallucinations, it is possibly because
of your depression or your panic attacks.
Relax. The hallucinations will go away if
it is caused by those two. Find a way to
get rid of the panic attacks first and
then depression.

Ive had schizophrenia for about 20 years,
curing time is different for all people.
I agree that getting rid of panic attacks
first before depression is the right step.
Ive got past the panic attacks but still
working on depression, life will get
easier as mine is getting better, 20 years
of it and its been hell at times but i,m
glad i,m still here and improving.
Funnily enough , I suggest a healthy
lifestyle, ie doing some fitness
programme, either running a couple of
miles a week or do a martial art like me,
"a fit body helps a sick mind" it helps
honestly, try it
