Friends,

I read an article by a person who has acute schizophrenia. One night he simply couldn't take the noise in his head, and "blacked out". When his mother came into his room the next morning, there was urine, blood, and parts of disassembled remote controls on his bed. He was screaming and very manic. It seemed as if this person's "break" or "episode" was very loud and intense.

Are all breaks/episodes "loud" in the sense that they are very busy, intense, manic, and frenetic? Is there such a thing as a quiet or non-manic episode? If so, what does it look like?

i guess it depends. some people have episodes or whole life living with this illness gone undiagnosed. some get into serious outbreak which requires medical attention

No. A lot of my supposed "psychosis" is quieter.

Not for me. The loud stuff for me is all the noise other people make, and I just need quiet to help my frayed nerves.

The odd hallucination is screaming loud, but mostly it is normal sound or even very quiet.

I don't get wild during a psychotic episode, apart from efforts to escape feelings of being attacked.

Yep , the loud stuff other people do is the same thing the poster of the op is talking about. Yep its a very very very common symptom.
