God bless you woman, we are all blessed to be born with "normal," brains, whatever you would classify as norma, yet in these individuals, they had no part in being born with this as we didn't not being born with this horrific desease.

do some research the swelling of the basal ganglia and thalamus “was associated with greater severity of both positive and negative symptoms.” basically as these brain volumes change the person becomes more psychotic (positive symptoms) and more emotionally disengaged (negative symptoms). The MRI studies show that anti-psychotics worsen the very symptoms that they are suppose to treat, and that this worsening begins to occur after the first three years the patient being on the drugs.

@ichbinkeinberliner what does that mean??? im very curious

[returnoftheramble3]

I don't need the medicine anymore. I'm out of that phase. I'm just waiting to get out of the black depression. As far as schizophrenia, yeah, I lost some tissue. I think it's an array of disorders and that they have to figure out which one each individual has to effectively treat it. I have brain damage on the left side. The left sides causes God-like hallucinations of reptile-things and difficulty understanding detail. Like, a lot of people who have issues with the left side have God.

@JacobsJaffa I didn't say I know God....that's just it. God is full of mystery yet simple at the same time from my experience with my walk with his son Jesus and the things that have been shown to me by what could be none other than God. These occurances can't be put into proper words...you would tear them apart anyways if you are a disbeliever and I don't believe my heart could stand it. I'm trying to stay away from drama for a change. any other questions?

@mrskikizz
