Having lived with schizophrenia since he was a teen, Quentin is used to the ups and downs of the illness. Hear him talk about the differences between his first psychotic episode and the symptoms of relapse.
I use weed for my schizophrenia.
Do not take antipsychotic drugs! They literally destroy brain cells and make you feel like a zombie. Avoid them at all costs!
Antipsychotics, especially the LAIs, are powerful poisons that depress what it is like to be human. They should all be banned as far as I'm concerned.
You didn’t mention Vitamin B3, Niacin. I healed my brother of schizophrenia with nutrition with an emphasis on the B Vitamins, and especially Niacin and Fish Oils high in EPA and DHA. Look into it. Look into the work of Dr. Abram Hoffer and his use of Niacin to help schizophrenics. Read his books.
who cares about relapse. I hate not feeling happy and unmotivated because of the ani psycotics
I am coming to nova scotia

Either from stress, alc or drugs i got sick from schizophrenia but i am now since almost 2 days 100% good. This is a wonder.

Does anyone know if Quentin has an Instagram panhandle?
Quentin's Cute, I would date him instantly.
"I've always seen the light at the end of the tunnel." Hope, is powerful thing. Glad he was able to step into that light which he saw from afar. I've been there myself, lost within the fog while surrounded by all of the things which terrified my heart. It was hope that led me through. It was hope that had me ignore all of the signs which told me to accept that existence, to lay down and sleep in the mist because I'd never find the way out. Against all hope, against all of the best predictions of the health professionals, I dared to reach for something no one else around me could see, or believe that I'd ever achieve: an existence free of Schizophrenia and its symptoms. It's good to hear others are making progress against mental illness as well. I was diagnosed with "paranoid Schizophrenia with delusions of grandeur." Though my recovery story is unconventional, it got me 100% cured from the illness I was suffering from for years. Hopefully others are able to make it through as well. I can promise you this, there is life BEYOND Schizophrenia. It doesn't have to be a life sentence.
