Well, Schizophrenia is a very disabling condition adn if I were ever diagnosed with it or a related disorder, I'd deny it. Bipolar is just mood swings with some psychosis, high levels of functioning etc. Can expect nothing to go wrong with that, so no need to take meds. Because nothing will happen to me. I don't care anymore. As far as I know i fit parts of both criteria. I don't care anymore. And yes, Schizophrenia diables people to the point of homelessness and drug abuse. SSimple as that.
