before I go...
did you know psychiatrists and psychologists can actually diagnose schizophrenia just by looking at you?
100% true....
when the office door opens, and the new patient enters his office, the clinician has already started his evaluation, just based on the visuals
particularly the facial expression
or, to be more accurate
THE LACK OF FACIAL EXPRESSION
THE LACK OF NORMAL EXPRESSIVE DYNAMICS
You can actually see it on their face
And if you look in their eyes, you can almost tell they think there's something controlling them they don't understand
they actually believe it
to them it's completely real
"there's something controlling them"
And you can actually see it just by looking at somebody's face
100% up n up
and in the written word, it's equally as easy to spot
because in the jumble, one minute it seems like they expect you to know about some kind of plot against them, as if you'll know about "The poison potato chips Miss McGillicuddy keeps trying to make me eat"
and then in the same sentence suddenly they'll be talking about Jesus and coincidentally enough, or other biblical references, then some pseudoscientific gobblygook mumbo jumbo
And then back to the plot against them again
as if you're supposed to already know about this plot against them
That's exactly how to spot it
they really can't hide it.
