This board is basically fuckbaby island. It's rampant with self-diagnosis and silly fluff diagnoses like "Intermittent Explosive Disorder" and "Schizotypal Personality Disorder" that are just psychiatric creations drummed up to medicalize normality. Not to trivialize anyone's issues, but not every personal issue is a psychiatric one.

 No.5147

The fact that you think schizotypal personality disorder is normality and easy to deal with proves that you're an utter fucking moron.

I'm pretty sure you posted on here before saying pretty much the same shit and I debunked it then too. I hallucinate, I have psychotic thoughts, I'm a fuckin mess in too many ways to count and if you're gonna sit there and say that schizotypal personality disorder is a fluff diagnosis you can suck my entire dick because it's made my life really fucking hard.

??? I've only lurked before. If you hallucinate and have psychotic thoughts as you say, that is qualification for a diagnosis of schizophrenia. It meets two criteria; hallucinations and delusions.

Schizotypal refers to the concept of schizotypy, which is that schizophrenia is on a spectrum and that everyone has a schizotypal function, responsible for creativity and such. On one end of the spectrum is normality, the other schizophrenia. Someone with "a schizotypal" or "schizoid mind" specifically referred to an otherwise normal person who shared characteristics of schizophrenics while not meeting diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia.

It is literally subclinical psychosis. Key word here being subclinical. But now its been referred to as a disorder when in fact it really referred to a simple personality trait because in psychiatry now every facet of one's mind and thoughts, every emotion, every dysregulatory imperfection, every brand of human suffering has to be called a mental disorder.

A symptom of StPD:
"Psuedohallucinations. These might include having illusions, or attributing a particular event to some mysterious force or person who is not present. Affected people may also feel they have special powers to influence events or predict an event before it happens."

But I actually looked and you've posted.
A lot.
A lot of anti-other mental disorder shit, actually. Including what >>5147 mentioned.

Why do you care about my random opinion it doesn't matter anyway. This stuff is subjective. There are no scientific tests one can run to "verify" an illness. They're more like syndromes.

I don't really care, I just want some material that supports what you're saying.
