That means anon is genetically more likely to develop either/both too.
If any of you all have a family member suffering from those you should avoid triggers that can cause onset on an early age like smoking weed, especially under 25 years old.

Early signs of paranoid schizophrenia, maybe.

Yup. I doubt OOP is going to read this, but it’s still very important advice. 👍

cant dx schizophrenia without more info. all we can identify is a few reported symptoms from a third party. the secret messages are called Loose Associations and that with the persistence of belief in the face of evidence to the contrary indicates a delusional belief, but those can occur in several psychotic disorders. for schizophrenia we’d at least need to confirm bizarre motor activity, disorganized speech, and perhaps some negative (withdrawing) symptoms

Thought schizophrenia also needed an audio or visual hallucinatory component?
TimewornTraveler@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 months ago
nope! either/or. usually has both delusions and hallucinations but as long as there’s at least one
and with minimal insights, they may not perceive the voices as hallucinations. to them it might be a broadcast or just a noise or something
