Paranoid schizophrenia is kind of a sad, scary thing. Good thing that it 'only' affects about 1% of the population and receives disproportionately low research funding! A mildly interesting detail about schizophrenia that not everyone knows is that it is linked, in some weird poorly-understood way, with the use of mind-altering recreational drugs, particularly marijuana. People predisposed to schizophrenia appear to be more likely to be pot smokers, and the onset of full-blown schizophrenic thought patterns has a positive correlation with one's first high. That means that a not-insignificant number of people in the world have turned to weed for relief from stress only to suddenly earnestly believe they're surrounded by conspiracies, gang-stalkers, and hidden forces acting against them. With proper treatment, schizophrenia actually tends to respond pretty well to the wide range of anti-psychotic medicines available, but first you have to convince someone who usually believes the world is out to get to them to take mind-altering medication designed to make that illusion go away. If a schizophrenic breaks the law due to these beliefs and harms someone, a court may mandate psychiatric treatment, but until that point, basically no one can compel treatment anywhere I'm aware of (that's a good thing overall, although California in specific does have an especially weird law where a police officer with no psychiatric training can involuntarily commit someone based purely on a statement of what the officer thinks that person's diagnosis is).

Also, Brian Wilson (diagnosed schizoaffective) links his first LSD trip as to when he first heard voices. Which may or may not be. Wilson's memory is shockingly good, but he's always had a tendency to fit his stories to whoever's asking. If WIlson thought an interviewer would be pleased if he said he was really creative with the sandbox under the piano, he'd say just that.

So your friend turning into Ted Bundy overnight is not the same as someone having the onset of schizophrenia triggered by smoking pot. Don't let movies and television fool you into thinking that schizophrenia is the same as psychopathy.

Yeah. Violence stemming from schizophrenic thoughts is possible, but generally people with schizotypical thoughts are usually just scared and irate because their understanding of the world has suddenly grown to include 'there is a massive network of hidden meaning in the world no one else is seeing and/or conspiracies against me'.

also schizophrenia doesn't even necessarily have to involve conspiracies at all there was this article about people who were in the prodromal phase of schizophrenia (where the odd beliefs start to take root but the brain doesn't 100% believe in it yet so the person is stuck in a 'I know this can't be true, yet it is what I see' zone), and one of the interviewees (all well-educated and very articulate--the article was primarily about how they managed to arrest the onset of schizophrenia precisely because they recognised the symptoms so early) very lucidly described how he became convinced that everything was made out of matchsticks, which the rational part of his brain was telling him was impossible, yet felt so compelling anyway that it had to be true e: on second thought the conspiracy part commonly associated with schizophrenia probably comes from other people repeatedly failing to acknowledge the surreal beliefs that have come to take root in the sufferer, or 'this must be a conspiracy because why else would everyone deny something that is so obviously true' LUBE UP YOUR BUTT has a new favorite as of 18:34 on Aug 4, 2017 |

One reason conspiracy delusions come up a lot is because a lot of times schizophrenics interpret the voices they're hearing as signals or broadcasts that only they can hear. The ones I worked with never said that their own internal monologue was telling them to do things, it was other voices that were most definitely not the same(at least as they hear them) as their own.

wikipedia posted:She told them: “Over there, in the field. They burnt me, they put petrol on me." They immediately took her to a nearby house and roused the residents, Michael and Margaret Coop, to call for an ambulance.[1][5] Michael Coop said: "Both her hands appeared like ash. Her legs were just like raw meat and her feet appeared to be badly charred. I was struck by how polite the victim was. She was constantly thanking my wife for her assistance." Margaret Coop said: "I instinctively went to put my arms around her but she pulled away because she could not bear to be touched. Her head was shaved and there were recent, not new, cuts to her head. Her face was almost featureless. Her hands were red raw and black at the fingertips. Her legs were red from top to bottom. She couldn't bear anything near her legs."[19] Capper drank six glasses of water, but was unable to hold the glass herself because of the injuries to her hands.

Well not a founder, but one of the later heirs. It'd be difficulty for someone to be old enough to found a Whiskey company in 1780 and still be around to pay to see a girl eaten in 1888.

The link you posted said that he denied being the one who caused it or was even interested in seeing it? I mean the fact that he went out of his way to describe all the details to defend himself shows that it probably definitely happened but he didn't say "yeah I did it and it was cool" he was trying to claim "the crazy savages were butchering a girl and I wanted no part of it but stuck around and paid for it cause my guide forced me to" or some poo poo

He told his guide that he didn't believe cannibalism really happened as regular rituals. His guide said give me six handkerchiefs and I can prove you wrong. The guide was not talking poo poo. So even if we take his accord as 100% factual he still guilty of making a bet in very poor taste and failing to do anything to stop someone from getting eaten. Which is still the best possible case scenario. This all being said the person making the accusation is loving Henry Morton Stanley. A man who was a serial fraud. He also literally participated in genocide and helped to create a slave state. Terrible Opinions has a new favorite as of 12:08 on Aug 7, 2017 |

You'll be happy to know that most of the people involved have been released for at least 2 years, including the woman who seems to be the principal torturer. Her time in prison might also not have been to bad, as she had an affair with the prison governor.

pookel posted:I mean, if it made the difference between life and death, it's kind of a big deal, yeah. There's Madge Oberholtzer who was held captive by DC Stephenson the Grand Dragon of the Indiana KKK in 1925 after he bullied her into a date after she rejected him and then forced her to drink until she was incapacitated. He raped and tortured her (bit her all over her body, including her back, ankles, tongue, face and breasts) for days and she believed that she would not be helped by the law as the KKK had enormous political power at that time. Weakened by her wounds, which were becoming infected, she managed to get to a drug store and buy some mercuric chloride and swallowed some to commit suicide. As she began vomiting blood, Stephenson returned her to her family. Madge lived for several weeks after giving a signed statement to police, but the combination of her staph infection and the kidney failure caused by the mercuric chloride killed her one month after her ordeal began. The wounds inflicted by Stephenson were so severe that she would have died even without trying to commit suicide. Madge was correct in believing that the Grand Dragon of the KKK had enormous political power, but his crime against her was so heinous that it basically destroyed the Indiana KKK as people quit in mass numbers. It lost 178,000 members in two years. As for Stephenson, he was sentenced to life in prison but served 20+ years on and off due to parole violations. By 1953 he was denying that he had ever been in the Klan. Here is an article about Madge from Smithsonian Magazine: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/murder-wasnt-very-pretty-the-rise-and-fall-of-dc-stephenson-18935042/
