>>11808964 said, there's a lot of variability. Not all schizophrenics are 100% deluded by everything they perceive.
>>11808473>Don't believe people on this website saying that psychotropic medication is some sort of Jewish conspiracy and that drinking water and taking magnesium is the cure for mental ailments. They only have this perception because they don't have any issue themselves.Or because they have a psychotic condition themselves.
>>11809060What percentage of schizophrenics really become totally non-functional like that? I feel like it's not as common as you're suggesting. OP seems coherent enough at the moment that I think it's unlikely they'd end up homeless. Though obviously I can't predict their prognosis.
>>11808891I don't think long inner monologues would ever cause any psychiatrist to come up with that diagnosis. I think it's more things like clear delusions (thinking you're God or that the government is mind controlling you), paranoia (people following you everywhere you go; obviously this is theoretically possible but extremely unlikely if you're otherwise an ordinary person), and the voices feeling like they're totally external to you and not originating from you, and especially externally-sourced voices that are telling you negative things or suggesting/instructing you to do harmful things.
No psychiatrist is gonna consider you psychotic just because you have a deep inner world. At worst maybe they'd classify you with schizoid personality disorder or something, but that's very different from schizophrenia.
