Introspection to schizophrenia

By Darius Friday, May 23, 2008

Dear Mr. Lewis A. Opler, MD, PhD,
 
     I have been looking for someone to have a discourse about my findings in the field of abnormal psychology.  I have been diagnosed schizophrenic in 1997.  I am an atypical schizophrenic.  I say this because through my efforts to cognize my own disaffect-amt to society. 1 (interpersonal) I have found that the voices are actually "low amplitude", "high volume", sub-threshold inter-sensory "displays". (typically)  In order, of my cogniscence, "[by virtue of reflexive positive reditribution et."low amplitude"]> "high amplitude"[<as per schizophrenic] , "high volume", at and above threshold thyamatic experience. The causality is a non-linear cognization with a neupeptidic concomitance. (1*in otherwords, I rationalized my own state of mind)I apologize that didn't make sense.  My rationalization dosesn't conclude properly aformentioned delivery.  I should put 1* in 1
     My efforts were at first given to the idea of an anxyiolitic(seretonergic)-stimulant molecule. I realized that this was not 'mobile' do to the withdrawl and unpredictable natures of stimulants.  2 Then I was drawn to a anxyiolitic (same)-ginsenoside .  Esentially, if you are not familiar, and anxiolytic steroid. (to clarify [point 2] should have stated anxyiolitic and a ginsenoside in the same compound) I became at this point, apropriately perplexed.  I wanted the chemical to be active at all indeterminable levels, as per the individual natures of those affected.  So I re-examined all the potentiating chemicals in my repertoire, seretonin [5HT-1a], dopaminergic, and noradrenergic.  The fact was that I didn't want a substance that had an inhibiting nature. So, I re-examined a thought paridigm I had come up with to represent the schizophrenic thought process. (given socio-pysch-al "[tend]-isms", more familiar to yourself as psycho-social interaction as per trends in society)  It is:
 
   I predicate this by saying that neutral-behavior autoreflexive ideation is not typically possibe.  (allowing the mind to heal itself in a voluntary way without drugs)  So we start with the gnostic position.
 
 1. intial knowledge defines position in flux
 2. flux defines position to decision
 
I submit that this is the key area where schizophrenics would show a negative personal affect.  In the sense that people with generally positive affect would make choices. The former would be lent to decisions.   
 
1decision  1a : ... specf : the act of settling or terminating (as a contest or controversy) by giving judgment [1]
 
1choice 1: ... typically : the voluntary and purposive or deliberate action of picking, singalling out, or selecting from two or more that which is favored or superior : the decision reached by such action <the ~ made by the voters> <Lincoln's ~ of Grant as general> [1]

Hello Darius,

 

You raise some interesting points to take a look at.

 

Good luck with your discourse.

Darius:

 

I was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 1956 and have done graduate work in psychology.  I have been under the care of a psychiatrist and fully compliant for 52 years.

 

Being diagnosed in 1997, I assume that, like me, you are under the continuing care of a psychiatrist.

 

I know Dr. Opler.  I do believe that he works primarily as a consultant to other psychiatrists.  So, if you would like a discourse with Dr. Opler about your discoveries, I recommend that you begin by first contacting your own psychiatrist.

Robin,

  

    I stopped seeing my psychiatrist, because, after our interaction life lent me little options for a smooth segway. The nature of my comment was to disseminate the 13 years of my research to specialists as well as anybody else.  Medications, in my experience, were will-inhibiting and painful, as well as, the general view of doctors was that it was of a pluralistic nature. The patient is left with little recourse.  

    It's about time we had a "no fear", stigma-less, and hopefull "no tears treatment". 

 

Thankyou for the reply,

Darius
