Any links between cocaine and schizophrenia?
A few of my friends take cocaine occasionally and I'm considering trying it, just out of curiousity and to see what all the fuss is about. I have never tried any drugs before and I have no intention of taking cocaine more than once, I'm just curious to see if it's as good as it seems to be.There is one slight problem however... My mum suffers from paranoid schizophrenia and I know that many drugs out there can increase your chance of developing mental illness, it's one of the reasons I've steered clear of weed. I've done a bit of research and, as far as I can find, there is no serious danger for first time use and only use , the problems arise when you start to abuse the drug.Anyhow, I'm hoping you guys could give me a bit of insight into any other risks and whether or not it's safe for me to try. I know many of you will tell me not to try but it's my own personal choice so please, no 'don't take drugs, you'll die ' kinda stuff ' Thanks for any help < 3
What are the symptoms of schizophrenia ?
What are the early signs of schizophrenia?
I'm a psychology major, and I think I have mild schizophrenia,.. I'm not just sure what are the early symptoms of it.I have auditory hallucination, specially when I stay at my mom's house to visit. I usually hear a woman talking in the other room, and some whispers every now and then when I watch TV on the sofa. I thought it was just might aunt, but she said..she didn't say anything, she was in her room sleeping.The last hallucination I had was both visual and auditory, I saw a woman's head in the mirrorand some hey, hey, sounds....Now I grew up in that house and I experienced these things before but this is by far the worst, cause I've started to see things, It rarely happens to me but it does happen to me from time to time, I can hear a moan or someone asking for help,..or sometimes they call me. that's why I took up psychology.That's why I'm asking, what are the early symptoms of schizophrenia? Cause I think I'm having it,..or I'm going to have it.I know the symptoms, I said I don't know the EARLY SYMPTOMS OF IT, you understand??tssk...
Should I hide my schizophrenia?
I'm in my mid twenties, and I am certain that I'm developing schizophrenia. I've been hallucinating, and I keep thinking all these things that I know logically can't be true. My emotions are crazy, and I have these random outbursts. My mother had schizophrenia, and I know exactly what it looks like. However, I've just been offered my dream job at a law firm. I don't want to have to give everything up. Should I see a doctor and get diagnosed or hide it and deal with it myself?

hi my mother has schizophrenia and has been diagnosed with paranoia schizophrenia.she has been admitted to hospital 2 years ago for being aggressive towards random people on the street whom she does not know and the police, the doctors did not take action until the she was locked up for smashing a shop window, she was then attacked by the owners of the shop with a metal rod, she was arrested for this because she randomly broke this persons shop window, the police had then taken her down to the station and placed her in jail. During her time in prison she was screaming shouting swearing at the police at the top of her voice saying you motherf ckers non believing b stereds you abusing dogs get me out now get me out now this was when she was admitted to the mental health facility, i was 13 years of age and was told during school hours. She was later let out 5 6 months later where she was perfectly fine two years on her she is beginning to act like her old self, yes she is taking medication AND injections are being given but she somehow seems not getting better, she is beating me up all the time im only 15 and my older sister who is 17 is not in this town at the moment she is studying for college my older sister seems to be encouraging her and not giving a care in the world. my mother is shouting abuse at my everyday as well as the beatings, this does reflect on my school work and for some reason she thinks the police and everyone is out to get her, she called the police on me yesterday i had came back from school and went inside to make something to eat, she threw what i made on the floor and started calling me a wh re sl g and i should die, she repeatedly said she hated me again and again, i am sick of this the beating and the verbal abuse the police had arrived and had thought it was 'just them teenager things' so basically they were pinning it on me as my mother is a VERY good liar, the other policeman went upstairs and asked my younger brother and sister what had happened brother 11 sister 12 they said the exactly the same thing as i did, that was when the policeman came downstairs into the living room and said 'its not aiyshas fault the mother just went crazy on her just because she dislikes her' the police rang up my father and told him to pick us up, he did, i am now sat at my fathers house he is very aggressive towards us i really dont know what to do i want my mother to go to hospital because that's the only way she will get better, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP btw the doctors wont do anything about it, they said the medication needs time, she has taken the medication for 2 years now how much longer? any advice on how to place her into a mental facility? i only want to do what is best. thank you.
Talking to myself? Do I have schizophrenia?
I've been having a lot of headaches for the past year and for about 7 or 8 months of that time I have been imagining stuff and talking to myself hell of a lot BUT there is no one there. I have been extremely hostile with family, which is upsetting me but I don't show them that it upsets me aswell as it does to them, but I have a nice bunch of friends so it's not like I'm lonely and we always hang out, and this is the horrible part, I just can't wait to get home when I am with them so I can be alone and talk to myself. When I'm out and there's people around I talk to myself in my head, but when I'm on my own I talk out loud. So I was wondering, do I have schizophrenia?Sometimes when I go behind a car, I flinch because I think it's moving when it isn't and more often than not I see people in the corner of my eye, but when I turn to look they're not there. I am very, VERY paranoid and have been severely stressed for a long time. I have been on NHS and schizophrenia websites and it turns out I do have a lot of the symptoms. Because of my headaches, my doctor has scheduled me to have a brain scan, I haven't had a date yet so obviously I'm getting more anxious knowing that I've got to have one and I've never had one before.Does it sound like I have it or not? My mum says she doesn't think I have it, but she doesn't know that I talk to myself and I get anxious a lot.By the way, I had an imaginary friend when I was 2 and he lasted until I was 6, to this day I still remember him and I'm 17 now. Also since I was about 4 years old, I've done this thing with my hands where I put them together and like sort of flinch and fiddle them around, it's weird and hard to explain, but I don't know if that's got something to do with it either?I forgot to add, I started talking to myself just after my imaginary friend left, I started imagining things 7 or 8 months ago. But what made me think that I might have it is that I used to and still do have crazy delusions and I write creepy stuff everywhere like last week for no apparent reason I wrote I hate you loads of times on my wooden drawers in my bedroom
Could this be early signs of schizophrenia or something else?
my symptoms, how i act.. I feel like im diffrent to everyone else i know this sounds big headed but im really not, i just secretly feel like im special? I constantly think people are saying bad things about me i even once thought a friend was talking mean behind my back so i hacked her facebook to read her messages and check I find it hard to conroil my thoughts, sometimes i literally have arguments in my head and my mum & family say they always see me pulling agressive faces or sometimes even miming what im saying in my head. i dont really like going out, im an 18 year old girl, and i'd rather just stay in. I'm very short tempered and never back down, i could have 20 men starting a fight with me and i'd still be going mad, i went out the other day and a girl called me a name and i lost my temper so much that after the argument and me starting a fight with her i couldn't hardly remember what happend? it felt like i got in to the argument weeks before hand my memory of it was that hazy. I can be quite mean.. If my mum shouts at me and tells me to do something i automatically shout back usually i regret it afterwards cause she hasnt done anything wrong, i just automatically get over defensive. What do you think? i ask on here because i dont want to talk to a proffesional about it and waste there time if it's really just natural behaviour for someone my age, after all im 18 and have a lot of hormones, i think being short tempered is kind of what comes with being a teen.
