I am not aware of it making anyone more likely to have the symptoms of schizophrenia. It does, however, make the patient more vulnerable to developing epilepsy.


Hope this info helps!

thanks yea it helps.

that also explain why i bump into stuff a lot and am unbalanced. i always thought that was a symptoms of my schiz. i really did. cause i saw unsteady gait as a symptom of schiz on schozophrenia.com and some other websites before. that may explain partially why i almost broke my toe! or fully. im always bumping into stuff. or bumping my arms against door frames.

thats so weird how this me.
