Title: Is this what Brian experiences? Post by: Jay on March 02, 2012, 11:41:03 PM I found an interesting video that is a schizophrenia simulation. I wonder if this is what used to be a typical day for Brian when he was at his absolute worst? I wonder if this still happens to him now. http://www.wimp.com/schizophrenicsymptoms/

Also, poison. Title: Re: Is this what Brian experiences? Post by: runnersdialzero on March 03, 2012, 08:21:15 PM Assholes acting like rain isn't a good time for some people. So typical. If I were schizophrenic, you'd best believe all that poison talk and weathermen telling me I'm worthless would be accompanied by lots and lots of sunshine.

Title: Re: Is this what Brian experiences? Post by: runnersdialzero on March 04, 2012, 10:58:27 AM 'teh hell are we s'posed to know? We're not Brian, and the video itself says the symptoms vary from person to person.
Considering the fact that he's said he hears, I believe, three different voices and they say hateful things to/about him, I'd say at his worst, yes, he may experience something similar.

by the way, I guess this would be a good thread to put this in, I was looking up alogia [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alogia ] and the example conversation they gave reminds me so much of Brian's interviews! Title: Re: Is this what Brian experiences? Post by: Jay on March 04, 2012, 11:59:20 PM That was a really interesting video. "People can revert to alogia as a way of reverse psychology, or avoiding questions.". No offense meant, but I think that whoever wrote that article might have been actually talking about Brian. ;Dby the way, I guess this would be a good thread to put this in, I was looking up alogia [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alogia ] and the example conversation they gave reminds me so much of Brian's interviews!

Post by: hypehat on March 05, 2012, 08:44:08 AM Quote Schizophrenic patients in a word generation experiment generated fewer words than the unaffected subjects and had limited lexicons, evidence of the weakening of the semantic store. Another study found that when given the task of naming items in a category, schizophrenic patients displayed a great struggle but improved significantly when experimenters employed a second stimulus to guide behavior unconsciously Such as Zooey Deschanel? ;D Title: Re: Is this what Brian experiences?
