Suicidal and homicidal psychosis induced by taking SSRIs (modern antidepressants such as Prozac) is far more common than the drug industry has wanted to let on. Only now are all the frauds and cover ups beginning to reach the light of day. Literally thousands upon thousands of people's lives are ruined by this huge and totally obscene business with 'mental disease'.

There are very many far more effective and far less dangerous alternatives for treating all forms of mental and emotional distress. The drug industry has invested billions of dollars in smear campaigns and powerful lobbies in an attempt to destroy this 'competition' to their lucrative market in psych drugs.

If you definitely disagree with all the answers, expect the last one where you think you might be going crazy, it's positive. All the test proves is how to fake a schizophrenia test! | ||

i cant take the test... i dont understand thw questions... they are too leading !! although it DID say: Your answers to the schizophrenia screening test suggest that you could benefit from more in-depth professional psychiatric evaluation. Remember that having a positive screen does not necessarily mean that you have the early symptoms of schizophrenia or psychosis. The positive screen could be a false positive. To be diagnosed as having the early phase of psychosis or schizophrenia (called the “prodromal phase” of the illness), you would need to have a diagnostic visit with a qualified psychiatrist or psychologist. wkd x Edited 14 Mar 06, 11:11 PM by GKs_property | ||

Yes but where is the profit in methods that don't require addictive drugs? They have families to provide for you know! Imo the drugs assist the " mental" illness rather than heal it. Do they deal with the cause or the symptoms??? Although perfectly legal, they help to fund political parties after all, they aren't a long term solution unless you desire an addiction. See good and evil as the same: both are merely God's play. ( Vivekananda) | ||

Ok, this is a quite a predicatable test. It adheres to a cliched view of schizophrenia - ie that it involves voices in the head and other Norman Bates style delusions. Reading between the lines, it mistakes schizophrenia for Disassociative Identity Disorder (more commonly multiple personality disoder.) No-one really understands schizophrenia, but the general consensus is that it is distinct from DID. There are five different types, four of which all have different symptoms and the fifth being a mixture of the first four. It is often linked to other forms of mental disorder, leading some people to question whether it exists at all. In fact, some key figures in the anti-psychiatry movement (those who believe that our mental health should not be controlled by drug companies) argue schizophrenia does not exist as a meaningful diagnosis. They point, amongst other things, to Sluggishly Progressive Schizophrenia - a diagnosis used in the former Soviet Union to lock up political dissidents. Basically the human mind/psyche defies existing medical science, and certainly defies the simplistic presentations in the media/on the web.

I tried the test and, had I not known it was a test for schizophrenia, I would have assumed it was a test to find out if I was a sci-fi/fantasy fiction fan. To which, naturally, I tested positive. I mean, EVERY sci-fi fan must have wondered if mind-control is possible, for example, and must have wondered about having special powers, being able to predict the future, and so on and so forth!

I have a mood disorder and a family history of Bi-Polar depression. Anti -depressants send me totally off the edge and anti-psychotics turn me into the living dead. I don't take any medication and find other ways of coping. If you really do have a severe and enduring mental health problem, medication may be necessary. However it's like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. The side effects of medication can be worse than the condition itself. It's often a fine balance. If you are concerned about your mental health, avoid American sites as most are sponsored by pharmaceutical companies and designed to convince Americans to use their medical insurance on questionable treatment and medication regimes. I have a background of working in mental health and people who genuinely suffer from schizophrenia exhibit some fairly obvious and distressing symptoms. You have my permission to worry when your fillings start picking up radio messages. If you are genuinely concerned google Sane and you will find links to some more reliable information. For most people, common sense is the answer rather than medication. Eat well, sleep well, exercise and avoid multiple choice mental health questionaires.
