  read that schizophrenia is a cultural disease, where in the West we understand it as dangerous voices of crazy people, so when people get then they fit in the expectation and have dangerous voices. while in other places they show up as helpful voices, think I read of a case when the voice told the woman that hearing voices is strange and go talk to a doctor, then said goodbye when she began her meds and never heard that voice again.

    The examples listed are wayyy more obscure than schizophrenia also this hot take

    Some researchers have suggested that both premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and the more severe premenstrual dysphoric disorder(PMDD), which have currently unknown physical mechanisms,[27][28] are Western culture-bound syndromes.[29][30] However, this is controversial.[29][31]

    In the middle of a bunch of ultra niche examples

    Idk something feels off

  I met a guy who had constant visual and audio hallucinations. When I asked him if the antipsychotics made them go away, he said no, the meds make it so he can tell that they’re hallucinations.

  So are you saying it’s perfectly normal to have voices in my head telling me to kill people but also voices in my head telling me not to do that because it’s illegal? That means I’m perfectly normal, and don’t need professional intervention, because my mind is self- regulating, right?

    I’d say it’s only a disorder if it leads to negative outcomes (such as getting in trouble with the law or self harm). Otherwise that’s just the modality of your consciousness.
