  • To be honest, he seems quite a bit happier than most people I run into on a day to day basis. How bad would it really be to think of yourself as God while interacting with reality on moment to moment basis? It seems the term, "delusions of grandeur," is just a fancy way of saying, "What the hell do you have to be so happy for?!"

  • @bernice184 my friend is severly out of it but swears Niacin keeps her calmer than any other tranquilizer she has tried.

  • @brendaeileen

    niacin? wtf? niacin just cleans your body out

  • @brendaeileen the term disease usually is linked to medical conditions, and the problem is that it is to stigmatising.

    I would prefer to call it a state of mind. If that seems doesn't feel right, at least use the term DISORDER its less stigmatising.

    Stigma, the way we look at it is the main source of their disturbance, their relation with our rejective nature is the main reason they suffer.

  • @natureloverdude disease as a term is too stigmatizing brother!

    I'm not saying there are no negative symptoms, or that it is really a blessing... at least you can use the term disorder, if you can't say it is rather a state of mind.

  • @DritonGusia what is your alternative?

  • @lyon1535 Its best we hurt our own bodies instead.

  • @natureloverdude Um, when I was 3 I was skating and fell backwards, smashing my head onto concrete, Ive since learnt that there is a sharp bone that projects towards the brain that sits between/behind the eyes, so any bumps or knocks can hit this sharp bone and damage the brain. I had that fall...was rushed to hospital. Had another knock, a scaffold pole fell on my head, also just family violence has bashed my head off walls for over 20yrs...Saying 'dont smoke' doesnt work.My brain is in charge.

  • @the7thwreck were u hit on the head a couple of times as a child? dont smoke why do u want more health problems..u already have enough
