Beating someone with a club and stuff

 

That just makes schizophrenia worse, it's not actually a cure

 

Just treat it as an internet meme, okay?

 

There's actually a real treatment based on actual scientific principles

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Transorbital lobotomy

 

If you do this surgery

 

100% of delusions of reference, hallucinations, and auditory hallucinations disappear

 

It's literally the only cure for schizophrenia that humanity knows about

 

And it even won the Nobel Prize

 

The minor downside being

 

Your sense of self disappears after the surgery

You could get the same effect with a club, so what's the big deal — why don't we just beat him until his sense of self disappears?

The technology that kills the soul

If you destroy half, half disappears!

Saw that in Shutter Island

Congenitally blind people are said to not develop schizophrenia

🐰

This actually checks out at an academic level. Since the visual cortex area that processes visual information is blocked, the circuits that would be used there get massively redistributed to other sensory pathways, making their concentration, cognition, and short-term memory more refined and robust than the average person's neural networks. Schizophrenia doesn't have the vulnerable neural pathways to exploit because they get strongly reinforced during development. That's why congenitally blind people have such hyperactive hearing and touch. The incidence of schizophrenia in congenitally blind people converges on 0%.

Interesting

🐰

lmao the 'cure' is probably just touching grass or some nonsense like that

🐰

Schizophrenia is actually the most actively researched field and has good medications available, so it's the easiest mental illness to manage. A dopamine-regulating medication controls it, so there's no need for invasive neurosurgery.

🐰

bro if the cure was that simple we wouldn't have millions of people suffering, this is irresponsible posting

🐰

My friend has schizophrenia and takes meds but he's always sleeping and gains a ton of weight as a side effect

🐰

It's an old classic drug, and olanzapine is the poster child for weight gain. But schizophrenia meds are diverse enough that if your hallucinations and paranoia are controlled, weight gain is something you have to accept

🦊

So eating it increases appetite and makes you gain weight?

🐰

No, olanzapine is a second-generation schizophrenia drug that improved on first-generation dopamine D2 blockers. The mechanism is it heavily suppresses serotonin precursor 5HTP and comes with a dopamine maintenance supplement. Since serotonin controls appetite, crushing that triggers appetite explosion, raising insulin resistance and causing rapid weight gain. But that drug is top-tier effective among antipsychotics so it gets used a lot. Truth is, all schizophrenia meds have distinct side effects and come in all varieties. Drop this one and you get that one. It comes down to your doctor picking the best option they can. Tell your friend to not skip meds and take them properly

🐰

Are you a doctor? How do you know all this?

🐰

Here's something wild: the joke is you don't need to pull that crazy nonsense. Just take the medication your doctor prescribes and you can prevent problems with nearly 100% certainty—basically live like a normal person. So why does the crazy behavior keep happening? 99.9% of people with the condition just don't take their meds. Fine, people with the illness not taking meds makes sense, but the families—they won't let them take it either. "They're drowsy." No—that one side effect of grogginess is the one thing all psychiatric meds have as this miracle anti-freakout benefit, but families can't handle that one thing and turn the patient into an even more completely messed up psychotic mess. Until when? Until that patient stabs, slashes, or burns something. But even when you beg them to take meds, these morons act like the patient will become some unrecognizable freak if they medicate, so they prevent it. News flash—they're already patients! They're already abnormal! These idiots are basically anti-vax conspiracy nut jobs: "If you take the vaccine Gates controls you and the Reptilians will sacrifice you!!!" These people are actually kind of cute. But the clearly schizophrenic patients they won't medicate even though meds would normalize them—those become ticking time bombs, and thanks to these pseudointellectual morons spouting garbage about "human rights" without understanding reality, enforcing treatment on these bombs becomes nearly impossible even when they wreck entire neighborhoods. There's a famous saying in psychiatry: "People around mentally ill patients catch mental illness."

🐰

Nope, I guess it's not that easy

🐰

There's research showing congenitally blind people can't develop schizophrenia.

🐰

wait this better not be clickbait bc my cousin has schizophrenia and we've tried everything 😭

🐰

finally someone saying it!! medication + therapy literally saved my life, why does everyone act like it's controversial

🦊

This title is so misleading but okay let's see where this goes 🍿
