The human psyche can only take so much distrust and despair before self destructing. This is a protective mechanism imo

I don’t think that implies transmission, it implies food access and contamination sites.

There is a second period of schizophrenia onset for women, at perimenopause just like at end of puberty (the drop in hormones and the possible protection against schizophrenia from estrogen) It’s not super rare, and it is also a viable possibility absent Covid. I may never know.

I mean exactly what I originally stated though; I’m just curious where this research will lead and what it might mean for families like my own.

No family history on my side of any psychotic or delusional disorders, but lots of cluster A (anxiety, ocd, etc) and dopamine disorders (adhd, Parkinson’s, narcolepsy).

There is so much that is subjective or overlaps about the various diagnoses it’s kind of hard to suss out what is what.

“So far as we know”, since you’re targeting that sentence, let’s use the entire statement, thank you.

I have not had a serology. I have had negative rapid home tests.

I am curious as to if I had a very mild form before or after their bouts that I did not test during that time for, or one of the home tests that I took was a false negative. There’s a large margin of error regarding incubation times and low viral load.

I am very interested in more studies on this, particularly with epigenetic Covid exposure.

What about the more mild cases?

My 17 year old has had Covid three times despite vaccination and our best efforts at always masking, etc. 22 year old child has had it once. spouse has had it twice. So far as we know, I have not had it. It hit them like a mild flu.

We have all had a schizophrenia spectrum diagnosis within the last two years (me schizoaffective, spouse full blown schizophrenia, child won’t be labeled until over 18 but already on same meds and receiving same treatment). 22 year old schizoaffective.
