Recovery from schizophrenia/psychosis OCD. I am able to live with this uncertainty after knowing these facts. If your parents or siblings have schizophrenia, the chances of you getting it is still less than 10%. And it also helped me after understanding the misunderstood stigma around it. About 20% of them recover even without medications as they age. And about 60% of them reach remission through medication and treatment. Even though it might be debilitating but recovery is very possible. People who have psychosis, 33% of them never have it again at all. The rest who do with treatment and therapy it is highly recoverable. When having a Psychosis episode, most last only till few days and in rare cases few weeks to few months. You can still lead a normal life thanks to current treatment and medications that were not available in last century hence that is when the stigma took root. Who knows what the future holds, we might even find a cure or even higher effective treatments. So don't worry about thinking you might lose your sanity or something. The fact that you can question if you're losing your sanity is more than enough to prove that you are not.

Hey mate! I am sorry that you're going through these things. But like I said let's not stigmatize anything. I want you to watch this video completely: https://youtu.be/Q8y523l286E Hope this helps!

@akarsh9 Hey. I didn't stigmatize anything by saying I'm scared of new mental health symptoms I find scary and I'm not sure where you got that idea, but perhaps reread my comment, because I never showed any judgment toward anyone else.

@excalibre-hotmessexpress I wasn't referring to what you said mate. I was just talking generally. But please do watch that video! It really makes sense!

@akarsh9 Thank you. I want you to know I was not trying to be aggressive here-- and I definitely don't believe anything bad about people with schizophrenia. It's just, I'm already autistic. I have ADHD, OCD, and anxiety. I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder but I'm pretty sure it's actually bipolar disorder and they just missed it because most ppl can't tell the difference between being hyper because of ADHD and having mania, even though it's kind of obvious to the person having it, and...I don't want more things. I have too many things already. It doesn't matter what the thing is, I don't want it. I collected em all. Like...put it back.

@excalibre-hotmessexpress I knowww mental illness is like a grab bag but oh my God, my bag is full, when does it end?
