  • Maybe she's not schizophrenic. But of course science wants to explain everything ugh

  • My grandma was schizophrenic and, before I was born, she had a strong involvement with a certain branch of religion. Not getting into it, but it has led to me holding some viewpoints about religion that I won't express here.

    To answer your point, though, she wandered inside her own mind and often she did express (most often by writing) these things. On paper (no pun intended) it made no sense but if you suspended judgement, her internal conversation was no different than any of ours. She was just trying to make sense of things and had chosen the supernatural as an answer.

    Without wishing to sound offensive, schizophrenia can often be a funny illness too. It took a lot of accepting by people outside the family but she could be incredibly rude in ways that were entirely deserved by the recipient.

  • Yes, and that is why the medications are prescribed. I know not everyone will agree, but I love someone who has a tendency to become a violent schizophrenic if he does not take his medications.

    • I agree with you I know if they don't take their medication they can go into psychosis and become violent I witnessed it before it's scary

  • If she acts up when brought to church, she could be possessed by a demon.

  • It's possible that she may have a social phobia if these outbursts only happen in a setting other than home. Reading up on schizophrenia may provide you with a better understanding of her behavior.
