Welcome! This is a community meant for a discussion of Schizophrenia and schizophrenia related issues (including psychotic symptoms in general, Schizoid, Schizotypal, and Paranoid Personality Disorders). Feel free to post, discuss, or just lurk. There is no judgement in this place: we are here for each other. Please refrain from self-diagnosis, diagnosing others, or advising specific medical treatments.

Read the sticky and if your question is answered fully by it, your post may be removed.

Official Discord. This channel provides a space for people with schizophrenia to talk about many things. It is not integrated in the discussions here and it's rules are tailored to the discord experience. Be aware that material here may contain political views, religious views, and some material not safe for work.

Rules

Nobody is judged here for having symptoms of schizophrenia, so please do not feel embarrassed or afraid to post: being able to interact with others while one is having a tough time is very important.

However, the following rules will be enforced strictly:

Do not use hate speech or attack others.
Do not encourage suicide, self harm, or illegal or harmful activity.
Do not encourage delusions. This includes reinforcing shared delusions.
Do not contraindicate prescribed medical treatments. This includes advice to cease medication on one's own or to take drugs without a prescription.
Do not perpetuate stigma. This includes any grossly misleading or offensive statements about people with schizophrenia.
Do not solicit responses for polls, surveys, interviews, and/or studies. If you are looking to conduct an interview for school or a writing project (not a formal study), refer to our list of consenting users.
Questionable activity. We reserve the right to remove questionable posts for the sake of community safety and to prevent spam, including removing questions of whether a user has schizophrenia or posts dealing with political and religious themes. If you see something questionable, please use the report function and modmail us so we can handle it.
