schizophrenia

But basically, Kreplin thought there were things in psychiatry that were basically brain diseases, basically biological diseases.

But then there were these other conditions that sort of you could study like they were illnesses or diseases, but they were more conditions he called them In German he had he had words for these but anyway, what what's most valid? Well, certainly the organic diseases like Alzheimer's disease but beyond the organic conditions in psychiatry, I think we have to begin with Schizophrenia with manic depressive illness, which is not necessarily equivalent to bipolar disorder.

I would add severe recurrent unipolar depression, what Max Fink and Edward Shorter have called melancholia, which is a similar construct.

Depressive neurosis or neurotic depression, chronic low-grade depression that seems to be a part of the patient's personality.

I think I have a really good one here.

What? Frank Hefley's Schizophrenia.

Yeah, a schizophrenic person would be pretty scary, but those are real.

I know that, but I mean Frank Hefley's.

Everyone is both good and bad.

Lange used a similar procedure with schizophrenia patients, because schizophrenia patients are psychotic, of course.

and because they are psychotic they do not have correct perception of others very similar to narcissists actually schizophrenic paranoids perceive others in a way very very similar to narcissists very frighteningly similar actually to narcissists and to some forms of autism so some forms of autism Schizophrenia paranoids and narcissists, all of them perceive people more or less the same.

So that's why I chose Ling's technique to try to cope with narcissists.

But this is only part one.

So there's like six audiences I'm writing a note for.

And so it makes you very kind of, Schizophrenics is a politically incorrect way to say it, but it really pulls your brain in a lot of different directions.

Makes writing a book that does any one of those things well difficult.

You're pulled in so many different directions.

It wasn't the same award as the University of Saskatchewan's three-year research grant.

Then the 1957 annual report on pages 107 to 108 names Hoffer as directing the Saskatchewan Schizophrenia Project and identifies a further grant of $75,000 Canadian dollars, stated as approximately $78,750 US dollars for the next three years.

The report describes hospital follow-up studies as well as attempts to identify metabolic intermediates and body fluids.

This gives us two distinct university research awards and a separate travel award with their own dates, receipts, and stated purposes.

The next part of the story isn't a ceremonial chamber or a billionaire's clinic.

It's a cluster of psychiatrists taking a very strange biochemical possibility seriously enough to investigate it.

To understand what the researchers were actually pursuing, begin with Humphrey Osmond and John Smythe's 1952 paper, Schizophrenia, A New Approach, published in the Journal of Mental Science.

The authors drew attention to the structural similarities between adrenaline and mescaline and asked whether abnormal adrenaline metabolism might produce something that disrupted perception and thought.

And Treatments of Dissociation Disorder in 2018.

Be a Teammate with Yourself in 2019, The Genetics of Schizophrenia in 2020, and Opus 5 and B-Flat and Other Poems in 2020.

He's published in multiple journals and is a past president of the International Study for Trauma and Dissociation, appeared in numerous television documentaries and published essays, amorphous and poetry, short stories and screenplay.

So welcome, Dr. Ross.

Schizophrenia and psychotic disorders.

Schizophrenia is a complex psychotic condition involving a fundamental breakdown in how the brain processes reality, regulates dopamine and distinguishes internal thoughts from external sensory input.
