Idk but I'd assume people who took them in childhood had a more severe illness to start with and may have had more years in psychosis without meds. Both of which would make it impossible to study....

If you weren't on meds you'd likely be in special ed which is also limiting....


Plus there is that theory that the longer you're psychotic the more damage there is to your brain so early treatment is key......but most use low doses nowadays....


Yea i get that. When i first started taking meds they were cautious and put me on low doses but since my parents had to be involved, and me not understanding what was going on with me, i soon got my meds upped faster and faster. By 17 i was put on 6 or 7 meds. High doses too. Ambien, xanax, zoloft, seroquel and some others. At least 6 total. Was going in and out of hospitals, mainly due to cutting and depression as a teen. But also attempted sui at 13 and 18. At 13 cuz i was being bullied. At 18 cuz i was scared and thought my life was going downhill. I thought i deserved to die. I thought it wasnt gonna be any better. That i was always gonna be bullied and mentally ill.

At 21 (my last time I attempted) cuz i had severe delusions and hallucinations. I got diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia at 21 after going to the hospital for a sui attempt.

My point is, i was on heavy meds and a lot of them. I was young.

I fell asleep on the couch and just woke up. I warned you I was sleepy hahahaha.

But nah, I'm really the kind of person who keeps everything in. When I was a kid I would hit bruises and pick my skin and have a vivid imagination sometimes confusing what is real but I really kept it on the DL so I never got taken to a doctor for anything until a few years ago when I had my big depressive episode and had to admit something was wrong.

I've probably been ****ed up for years and had I been more outgoing I might have been to a doctor years ago and might have more of a med and medical history and insight to show lol.

I got "noticed" by the mental health system when I attempted sui at 13 for being bullied.

Well, I better get to bed. I'm turning a huge downtown Ann Arbor Café on Mainstreet into a yoga and massage place. SP, you might know the place, it's in the same building as Keif Hefner's Karate school right by Mongolian Barbeque. Anyway, we're doing this crazy faux finish on the ceiling that makes it look as though light is breaking from the sky on the ceiling with this gold finish paint we're using among the other types. Ill give you guys an after picture.

There is an interior designer there and god they are so impractical. We're using 5 colors just on one small area and 3 of them are different shades of white. lol Interior designers sure do have balls to say "No you NEED to do this!!!" The way they tell their clients what to do is intimidating from what I've noticed. All my years of renovating I've never seen a male interior designer. I think women like nesting more than men.

And he said i could minor in something or get a second degree to bring in income. So while i dont have the money technically for this, im HOPING FAFSA pays. So this philosophy degree is, 1, what my passion is, and 2, so my dad sees that i have gotten a full education in at least something, and something i love at that.
Fafsa grants won't cover a whole universitys tuition. You'll have to take out loans

Didnt sleep last night. I'm going back to the hospital today if my mom's best friends mom is still alive. If not we're headed to my mom's friends house. I can tell this is going to be a long day.
