>>508112266>dementia praecoxYeah I know it as early dimentia.
I would not say my IQ has dropped though, but I am not hit with the deeper schizo shit like paranoid schizo.
Like you said, people focus on the delusions and hallucinations, hence why the meme "your meds" that is shilled around her is pointing at. Thing is, these symptoms, called "positive symptoms" (positive as in additive to ones psyche) are short lived. Its the negative symptoms that fuck life up (as in subtractive from psyche)
I was psychotic for only a few months, meds didnt really help (I spat them out) what did help was time. Time for me to deal with the change in psyche.
Then the negative symptoms emerge and this is what has raped me of my character, quality of life, a future and overall made me unable to fucntion.
Like you said, they are degenerative. Its been over a decade now and I have just got worse and worse.
It really is a degenerative illness.
At this rate I will probably have to an hero in a decade or so as my quality of life has just got worse and worse, so at that rate life will become unbearable to live.
I am already at a place where I can find little pleasure in my life.
