Would you marry a schizophrenic?

[Shamis]

both but more of the shitty genes being passed on.
I'd feel guilty for life if my kids developed it during their lifetime.

That's a legitimate fear to have and there is evidence that it's passed down genetically.

THIS. I swear somalis are THE worst when it comes to seeking help for psychological conditions.They just say begin quran akhris and other bs. They even resort to burning (in the baadiyo). . It took me 4 years to get help for my adhd with my fam.

ADHD is nothing compared to schizophrenia.

yap. marriage for love is good but love is only part of life.

It's a shaytan that needs to be sent to naar, through massaging Quran onto their afflicted body. And thus the shaytan is obliterated through recitation and you're cured, like magic. I think it's a strong form of denial of their, bc who really thinks that.

Is ADHD that life impairing? What did you do about it?

Imagine waking up with a plan in your head to what you are supposed to do for the day. throw that out of the window because you'll be watching tv shows and reading books for 12 hours straight. Its a problem with goal orientation, motivation and problems with discipline. We lack neurotransmitter such as dopamine and serotonin. Its a shitty condition.

According to my friend who is a psychiatric nurse, Somalis are terrible at seeking early intervention and are also bad taking their meds. She told me she hospitalised them more frequently than other ethnic groups and she blames the stigma and ignorance in our community against mental health.

Huge stigma. Its a lack of proper education that is to blame. Not their fault, but there needs to be more awareness.

Definitely. ADHD can be easily treated. Some people with schizo don't even have effective medication.

Schizophrenia the best way to describe is when u sleep and have dreams, doesn't your dreams seem real to you? well to someone who schizophrenic, they are having those dreams when they are awake. Those dreams can be good and obviously bad as you can see the reaction from the person. That's why some day dream and have a smile on their face cause their dream is nice, while others maybe getting a knife ready cause it's not a good dream and their scared!!! But most are just really scared cuz they are busy figuring out if it's real or a dream what they are seeing. This is where problems occurs, suicide is very likely if they cant take it anymore!!! Going to sleep sometimes is a cure for people, like when u go to bed and have no dreams or nightmares, if noone woke u up, u wouldnt know or care would u!!! Thats why im against death penalty, its not really a penalty if u got nothing to live for!!!

Yeah suicide is a huge risk factor with schizophrenia.

Yes keep any sort of weapon or knife away from them and keep them in a hospital, it's best for them and your safety also. Just like you can imagine yourself possibly doing anything in your dream or nightmare, it's possible for them also because they honestly dont believe what they see is real anymore, they think its a plot by god or satan or by govt or any other delusion they hold and u cant convince them otherwise because even if u try to they will make up some other reason why your saying what your saying!!!

The schizos I met are very gifted people once they are not in that state of course. Its like someone who came back from a near death experience, those people look at life differently now, and schizos who manage their illness are no different. They appreciate reality a-lot more and the craziness they saw or heard, makes them automatically be good at creative stuff cause they saw some 'wild' shit in their sickness!!!

Yes.
