I think so. Schizophrenia occurs when the brain is flooded with dopamine but in a massively unorganized fashion - resulting in the confusion known as psychosis. Basically it's the opposite of clear and powerful concentration in untreated individuals. My idea is that in a stable individual medicated with an antipsychotic such as Risperdal have the individual drink high amounts of coffee every day while trying to solve extremely difficult science problems without writing anything down. Have them, wake up, shower etc. then go on a long run and then for 10 undisturbed hours concentrate very hard for a long time on 800 set of difficult graduate level Mathematics problems - only taking breaks to go to the bathroom and eat food, but even so still thinking about the problems. As a schizophrenic myself I've noticed a significant decrease in symptoms by doing this. Basically the goal is to increase the power and size used of the brain to live a high functioning scientific and socially rich lifestyle. Then decrease the dosage of medication slowly and increase the difficulty of problems, effectively resulting in a powerful brain capable of extreme focus, clarity, and visualization of problems that require planning and organization.

The same concentration technique involving sitting down and attempting the solution of a extremely difficult math problem without writing anything down could be use to develop photographic memory in individuals who previously didn't have it. It's really very amazing what motivation and goal-setting can accomplish in a life.

Post original thoughts and discuss.

I'm schizophrenic too but I'm not sure how this can help with bipolar symptoms.

It's just increasing IQ indefinitely. Highly productive geniuses in the sciences almost never have social problems because they're too busy practicing hard thought 24/7. I think that if we just turn mentally ill people into scientific workaholics then much of the mental health problems we see today would be gone.

It is possible but we just don't know how. When schizophrenic people get older, a lot of the time symptoms/hallucinations become alleviated for unknown reasons.

It's possible that some psychosis symptoms could be worked through using Jung's ideas. If you see the symptoms as the unconscious mind affecting the conscious past a certain threshold

I'm schizoaffective and I think society should gas us all and put us out of our misery. If I could sign up to an extermination program I would.

Yes. The susceptibility will likely always remain, but an individual can learn to manage it. I don't think schizophrenia is composed of fixed, hard mechanical failures. The structural degradation that takes place is a downstream consequence of the real causative elements at work.

I'm diagnosed schizophrenic and I'm gonna experience with LSD to see how it interacts with my condition.

Eat a bunch of chocolate, see what happens. I'm not kidding either, you should try it. It might help.

Make sure to get something high quality, like Taza or some decent chocolate chips. Treat it like a drug, because that's what it is.

I believe you.
I'll try LSD + pure dark chocolate
