People with SZ have a higher life expectancy, despite a generally lower socioeconomic status (which is a very important factor, though many want to sweep that under the rug). Risk-aversive behaviour develops.
Some of that risk-aversion is good, too much of it isn't, I'd say.
It's just taking risks. Addictive personality of sorts.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me, Heal Me.
