IMO, and in the opinion of many people, this thing called schizophrenia is an end result and the culmination of repeated assaults on a compromised immune system. In other words repeated assaults on the bodies immunity results in several different physical maladies to operate together. Depleted cortisol affects the ability to handle stress until the brain finally puts up the white flag and snaps into delusion and hallucination.
What DIRECTLY causes delusions and hallucinations? Cerebrospinal fluids press against grey matter causing it to malfunction partially turning off a persons ability to form critical judgments. This causes the person in delusion not to know that they are in delusion.
Anti-psych meds might work by reducing pressure on grey matter resulting in less distortion of reality.
IMO you will never find a cure for a SYSTEMIC condition like schizophrenia by treating it solely as a mental illness.
Orthomolecular medicine is not the big solution it's practitioners claim. The only solution is to slowly address immune problems one by one. |
