but seriously though I just had a thought,
when people are tested for schizophrenia what standards are they measured against?
here's my angle -
say a schizophrenic person goes in for the test and is measured against a standard which is based on an average from a pool of people who don't have schizoprenic minds.
How then can one appropriately evaluate the effects of schizophrenia on 'the mind' (as a general term) if the "thing" which is being termed schizophrenia can only happen to schizophrenic minds.
This leads me to another question which is how can we know that what we are deeming extreme levels of pathology attributed with what we term schizophrenics, is indeed extreme at all for someone with schizophrenia.
In other words while we may know that a 'normal' mind would be extremely pathological attempting to function as a schizophrenic mind would; how do we know that schizophrenic minds don't have the same levels of pathology as a normally functioning mind & that its not the scale by which we are measuring the minds instead which is incorrect.
I think I'm going to dig around a bit and see what I can find out with regards to the tests/evaluations & how its all done, whether my theory has legs or not..should be interesting.
Peace,

Well all I can say is that among those I've known with Schizophrenia there was never any question about them being mentally disturbed. It was an obvious thing that affected their ability to live a normal life. Sort of like when you meet someone and they freak you out, and you go "wow....that person is not right in the the head" .
Though there are of course different levels of schizophrenia...normally though you hear voices telling you you're a bad person...you have vivid delusions....that sort of thing.

There was a link I came across several years ago detailing how India has a way higher success rate in treating "schizophrenia" precisely because they use family and friends in the treatment process rather than committing the subject...the family/friends are given counseling to aid in empathy for the subject...I'll see if I can find the link...

I don't want to get off topic here because what TI's go through is indeed real and people do get attacked with advanced technology for experimentation ect ect...
But do you think that India has a higher success rate in treating schizophrenia maybe because of there religious/spiritual beliefs of Hinduism and apply what they have learned through that to the treament of the problem???
For the record i'm Christian but there is real wisdom to be learned from Buddhism and Hinduism i just don't take it as the gospel, but if some of that wisdom could be applied to help certin illnesses without compromising the individual's faith maybe that should be looked into.

Speaking of technology this video explains some of the weapons that are used on TI's (targeted individuals) by microwave expert Barrie Trower, it's really eye opening.......
