when i was a kid, i was schizophrenic. I hallucinated very often,

Schizophrenia symptoms don't really show up until you're at least into your teens, and I've never heard of them going away on their own. I don't think it was schizophrenia. Perhaps you were having sleep terrors or you have some sort of dissociative personality disorder.

Find a good therapist, not just a rando, but one that you can really trust and feel comfortable around. Maybe medication is in order and they can direct you toward a psychiatrist, but at the very least, talk therapy is a good idea.

no schizophrenia can go away with enough help and what not. look up residual schizophrenia.

u wot

>>18489158
it appears i misread that

>>18489161
lol but to be fair i'm kinda just pulling shit out of my ass based on the one schizophrenic relative i have. I just think it's unlikely that this person actually has such a rare case of schizophrenia given that its a post on /adv/ lol

a reasonable concern, but that's no way to contribute to a thread. a schizo cousin? now that's a pretty good insight.

You're not schizophrenic, you have schizoaffective disorder. I didn't have that as a kid, but when I was depressed and doing drugs on a regular I started having an episode. How are you, psychologically speaking. Would you say that you have been feeling stressed or depressed lately?

yes i would

>should i be concerned

I should say so. PPD is a bad problem. Antipsychotics may help.

Actual shrink here

Don't fuck with hallucinogen if you have any history of psychotic symptoms. That includes marijuana. Unlike most people, you run the real risk of not coming back.

Childhood schizophrenia isn't unknown. Neither is a sudden lessening of childhood symptoms. We don't really know what schizophrenia is, how it works, where it comes from, why its degenerative in some people. Its just a descriptive diagnosis. Delusions and hallucinations. If OP had the symptoms for two months that would be more than enough to get the ball rolling on a diagnosis.

OP needs to go to a psychiatrist with experience in dual diagnosis, specifically hallucinogen abuse in patients with psychotic spectrum disorders, and he needs to stay clean.

>schizoaffective disorder
Maybe, although that diagnosis is a garbage can. OP is complaining about the psychotic symptoms, we don't have the data for a Major Depressive Episode or Mixed Episode and I'd wager OP would have mentioned Mania.

They might or they might not. I'm not intimately familiar with 25i, but psychosis caused by heavy marijuana abuse in people with underlying mental illness is medication resistant. The same is true with the more garden variety hallucinogens.
