Is there anything I should aware of about this illness?

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Keep taking your medicine, but does your church have a healing ministry?Is there anything I should aware of about this illness?
A family member with epilepsy, told me that people can never be healed of it. Well, there was this One Man! (Luke 9:38-42)I hate to tell you this, but there is no cure for Schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a lifelong condition, you may be doing better than you were seven years ago but, you will always have relapses and episodes throughout your life.
I thought it was important for you to know that because, I thought my Schizophrenia was gone at one point in my life and I had a massive psychotic episode that lasted for several months. During the episode I attacked my wife, general hospital staff, and when I was finally placed into a mental hospital I constantly tried to escape from the place. Was not fun.
I'm sorry to tell you that but, I thought you needed to know. There is no cure, you can only delay episodes you cannot completely stop them from happening.
No one knows you have the condition until you tell them. People will assume you are normal if you feel and act like you are.There doesn't have to be bad news about this? 2017 was when I had an episode. But now I am calm to the max. I was about to get back to college in 2020. I got to really do some free time work as a living. But recording my work progress on Youtube.
I am good. Just I want you guys to know I have schizophrenia. And to know what I should be aware of? Sometimes the Schizo fades aways if you treat it well. Like taking meds, acting normal, do a personality Examination test on your own? Or an evaluation test for yourself. Sometimes I forget I have this condition?
Can people see that condition in the works you do? Like art, movie acting, Interviews, and recordings for Youtube? Sometimes I can be random at times. Things like this...

JS: I developed Schizophrenic behaviors and was concerned but before I saw my doctor I was in a thrift store and saw a book and felt strongly to pick it up. It was Breaking the Viscous Cycle and it had a diet that helped heal digestive disorders. I went on the diet and within two weeks those symptoms disappeared.
I mentioned this to my doctor and he said studies were showing people with leaking gut can develop metal problem including Schizophrenia. He out me back on wheat then tested me for gluten intolerance. I came back positive as he suspected.
I now gluten free and have no metal issues at all. So can it be cured, only if its caused by leaky gut caused in turn by gluten sensitivity or intolerance.
That's fantastic! I'm very happy it worked out for you! Glad everything is going great!
