Eli5: The differences between inner monolog and schizophrenia?
In: Other
You can tell what’s real and what isn’t. Basically.
Schizophrenic people are really really unfortunate, when they have an episode, they believe their delusions. Imagine for a second, you are in a strange place, surrounded by people who want to do you harm, and it’s REAL. (But really you’re in a supermarket). Schizophrenia is terrifying, and people who suffer from it almost never hurt anyone else, and are the greatest threat to themselves – and are actually very vulnerable.
My inner monologue isn’t….. healthy. I’ve got some mental health problems, and I’m pretty screwy. But I know what’s real and what isn’t. I don’t have to act on my irrational impulses.
