Apparently Abram Hoffer and Humphry Osmond theorized around the same time that, due to similarity between mescaline and adrenaline, the latter was a psychedelic and could explain schizophrenia as a form of auto-intoxication

interesting, now what happens when a populace is in constant fight or flight mode due to late stage capitalism

Adrenochrome causes the symptoms of schizophrenia? And they've known it since the 50s.

Time to go back through old docs and see how that figured into mkultra.

They believed it at least.

The psychonauts at Erowid have tried to shoot, smoke it, snort it and boof it and only reported mild and uncomfortable effects.

worth noting that double-bind theory somewhat famously failed to explain schizophrenia very well, but the underlying thinking obviously found myriad uses besides understanding and treating mental illness.

There was some noise made a few years ago about schizophrenia likely not being a single condition but rather a collection of conditions united by their lack of response to standard treatments.

That is, it is very possible for someone to be paranoid and hear voices, two classic schizophrenia symptoms, but then recover and not have another episode for the rest of their life. In this case, the diagnosis wouldn't be schizophrenia since schizophrenia by definition does not go into remission on its own. However someone with the same set of symptoms who only goes into remission when under psychiatric medication and whose illness immediately manifests again if medicine is discontinued could reasonably be diagnosed with schizophrenia.

This makes schizophrenia a diagnosis of exclusion, and explains why treatment efficacy has not significantly improved despite the continued development of new meds and therapeutic techniques. It should be noted that this is in contrast to the efficacy of treatment for other psychiatric conditions such as depression and anxiety disorders, for which treatment is orders of magnitude more effective than it was decades ago.

I recall there being pushback on the theory but it's interesting to think about nonetheless.

Yeah, it's beyond my expertise as well but it does have a truthy ring to it. A confounding problem is how stigmatizing a diagnosis of schizophrenia is, so I think there's some effort to not diagnose someone with it if they don't need antipsychotics in perpetuity and to instead label it as depression or bipolar with psychosis.

I've read some new papers that might show that schizophrenia is a disorder of too much dopamine, the opposite of adhd. as a super adhder it makes sense to me and high levels of dopamine drugs cause similar symptoms to schizophrenia

that's not a new theory and has been known for a while. antipsychotic medication usually downregulates dopamine which is why they are sometimes called tranquilizers and also why they sometimes give people parkinsons like symptoms.

I mean it's an incredibly dumb thing to do but adrenochrome is the primary degradant of epinephrine when it's exposed to air and I believe is responsible for the color change.

of course that means if it's exposed to air it's exposed to the outside environment where bacteria live so it's a good way to introduce bacteria directly to your blood

i spent 2 days in hospital over the summer hallucinating wildly and it was really loving horrible. I think a combination of coming off ritalin and the fentanyl from general anaesthesia just sent me brain spiralling hard but i was mis-interpreting what i was seeing, hearing voices and generally paranoid along with some of the worst dreams i've ever had. Definitely would not recommend

I guess the unique language makes them seem cooler than they are. The terrain of such an urbanized island intrigues me. But after two seconds of googling I can see that the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, that issues its own passports, has no contemporary geographical affiliation with the actual island or country of Malta. All their poo poo is in Rome adjacent to the Vatican, naturally :rolleyes: What a rip!
