Early warning signs of schizophrenia

In some people, schizophrenia appears suddenly and without warning. But for most, it comes on slowly, with subtle warning signs and a gradual decline in functioning long before the first severe episode. Many friends and family members of people with schizophrenia report knowing early on that something was wrong with their loved one, they just didn’t know what.

In this early phase, people with schizophrenia often seem eccentric, unmotivated, emotionless, and reclusive. They isolate themselves, start neglecting their appearance, say peculiar things, and show a general indifference to life. They may abandon hobbies and activities, and their performance at work or school deteriorates.

The most common early warning signs of schizophrenia include:

• Social withdrawal
• Hostility or suspiciousness
• Deterioration of personal hygiene
• Flat, expressionless gaze
• Inability to cry or express joy
• Inappropriate laughter or crying
• Depression
• Oversleeping or insomnia
• Odd or irrational statements
• Forgetful; unable to concentrate
• Extreme reaction to criticism
• Strange use of words or way of speaking

Delusions

A delusion is a firmly-held idea that a person has despite clear and obvious evidence that it isn’t true. Delusions are extremely common in schizophrenia, occurring in more than 90% of those who have the disorder. Often, these delusions involve illogical or bizarre ideas or fantasies. Common schizophrenic delusions include:

• Delusions of persecution – Belief that others, often a vague “they,” are out to get him or her. These persecutory delusions often involve bizarre ideas and plots (e.g. “Martians are trying to poison me with radioactive particles delivered through my tap water”).
• Delusions of reference – A neutral environmental event is believed to have a special and personal meaning. For example, a person with schizophrenia might believe a billboard or a person on TV is sending a message meant specifically for them.
• Delusions of grandeur – Belief that one is a famous or important figure, such as Jesus Christ or Napolean. Alternately, delusions of grandeur may involve the belief that one has unusual powers that no one else has (e.g. the ability to fly).
• Delusions of control – Belief that one’s thoughts or actions are being controlled by outside, alien forces. Common delusions of control include thought broadcasting (“My private thoughts are being transmitted to others”), thought insertion (“Someone is planting thoughts in my head”), and thought withdrawal (“The CIA is robbing me of my thoughts”).

Common signs of disorganized speech in schizophrenia include:

• Loose associations – Rapidly shifting from topic to topic, with no connection between one thought and the next.
• Neologisms – Made-up words or phrases that only have meaning to the patient.
• Perseveration – Repetition of words and statements; saying the same thing over and over.
• Clang – Meaningless use of rhyming words (“I said the bread and read the shed and fed Ned at the head").

Disorganized behavior

Schizophrenia disrupts goal-directed activity, causing impairments in a person’s ability to take care of him or herself, work, and interact with others. Disorganized behavior appears as:

• A decline in overall daily functioning
• Unpredictable or inappropriate emotional responses
• Behaviors that appear bizarre and have no purpose
• Lack of inhibition and impulse control

Negative symptoms (absence of normal behaviors)

The so-called “negative” symptoms of schizophrenia refer to the absence of normal behaviors found in healthy individuals. Common negative symptoms of schizophrenia include:

• Lack of emotional expression – Inexpressive face, including a flat voice, lack of eye contact, and blank or restricted facial expressions.
• Lack of interest or enthusiasm – Problems with motivation; lack of self-care.
• Seeming lack of interest in the world – Apparent unawareness of the environment; social withdrawal.
• Speech difficulties and abnormalities – Inability to carry a conversation; short and sometimes disconnected replies to questions; speaking in monotone

Im not sure I get the point if your  addition to the discussion.  Are you saying that a TI cannot have a true mental health diagnosis? Or that if you are Not a TI that you cannot be mentally ill?

When you say that mental illness was created specifically for the purpose of harassment,  you are saying all TIs are 'mentally ill' (of the fake version) , and that there are no people that have actual mental illness that are Not TIs because there is no such thing as real mental illness! 

And you explain away the walking and talking aimlessly, but how do explain away this? "] Hippocrates (470-ca.360 BC) classified mental disorders, including paranoia, epilepsy, mania and melancholia." 

I personally cannot set aside the historical records of mental illness. Sure they called it different names, and attributed it to cultural causes, but mental illness has akways existed. Wikipedia gives countless examples throughout history that proves this. I cannot now say this information is fake because a few well meaning people have different opinions.

At any rate, considering that our site creator in the opening, admits tgat we have differences in beliefs and opinions, And that we need to set these differences aside to be successful as a group, so im not sure why the mention of trolls when mentioning differing beliefs on schizophrenia. 

And to  any members who are dealing with mental illness, reagardless of what you think the cause is, you are welcome to join the group Mentally Ill group ,

https://peacepink.ning.com/group/mentally-ill-group/forum/topics/dav...

I believe Everyone is a TI, some of us just have the added burden of illness. Others who deal with it too, can be of great support.

I would like to make it clear that my theory is that ALL but the very top of the enemy organization is targeted for monitoring. This means that if you are reading this, then YOU ARE A TI!! The idea that some of us are also mentally ill is therefore a given, because schizophrenic humans are also targeted.
Some would make an issue of the idea. Thier philosophy is different. They dont see everyone as being targeted. They see some sort of rule that says a human cannot be a TI who is also mentally ill. The fear that they will face people that cannot reason that mentally ill people are also targeted, and often targeted Because they are ill.
At any rate, we are again offered difering views on how to look at the posted information. One way is that I have a greater understanding of what those who are schizophrenic TIs after reading this article . I also think understanding how our brains work might give us regarding how the enemy actually manipulates our brain function. Because of my all inclusive view of who is aTI, the MI discussion takes on a different meaning. It needs to be addressed with dignity, and knowledge, so those dealing with it might feel dignified when reading our posts.

Here is an article that talks about some recent discoveries concerning schizophrenia.

I think I'll just tell "psychiatrists" in my head to fire up DEW laser (maybe from the moon like in Austin Powers movie) up your "TI" ass, that way we'll both be right LOL

this looks familiar   it's not very clear, but are you actually saying that people who 'claim' to be attacked by dew weapons and have their mobile phones hacked are spreading "similar bullshit, injecting more confusion among the real victims?   we've already shared a good chuckle about your exceptionally stupid advice "perps..are psychiatrists...you should try to be like them"  it's unfortunate you are coming up with this dippy shit at exactly the same time outed troll dotty is trying to sneak back into our good graces under yet another fake identity   if you're going to spout defeatist crap the least you could do is try to make it a LITTLE better than the stuff we've been wading through - should be easy!

Before Eleanor White invented the term "TI" around year 2000 there where only schizophrenics and just like the most of the so called schizophrenics are really some kind of "psychiatrists" who are keeping the myth of schizophrenia alive at least till only them are left in the World (and then who knows? My guess is that no-one would be safe and brain interface with battery will be mandatory - they've already built secret radio frequency network for high tech stalking and prying minds - and on who do you think this will be used in couple of decades when only they are left? No-one is allowed to talk about this, except me of course cause I don't belong - they rejected me so I don't have to follow their code of silence). These days the same people (who constitute majority of people) embraced the term "TI" and saying things like: "No, no am a "TI", I'm not a schizophrenic - they have a mental illness... I've been attacked by DEW weapons, my mobile phone is tapped, my neighbors are point lasers at me..." and similar bullshit, injecting the more confusion among the real victims... oh, these modern times

[TI in Florida]

The psychiatric profession refuses to believe the fact that the government experiments upon people with equipment that creates voices in the head (DARPA, DOD, MK Ultra, etc), and the fact that the government has operatives who terrorize people with tag-team surveillance, discrediting campaigns, breaking & entering, CIA dirty tricks sabotage, and other methods of Cointel Pro, or that the government has a "watch list" / targeting blacklist to attempt to destroy people using any method available. After all, because the government says they don't do these things (just like they don't listen to phone calls or read email/text msgs, or infect computers with spyware, or blackmail companies into downgrading encryption standards so that the NSA can wreck havoc on the Internet), the psychiatric profession stupidly believes the government, and therefore labels everyone as schizophrenic. This is what happensto those stupid professions that allow the government to dictate the parameters of their profession when there is an obvious conflict of interest on the government's part.
