Labels. Dx. Disability. Am I Really Schizophrenic?

Disability is created when a human being cannot participate or perform in a certain system because of structural limitations in the system…. For example, a person without use of their legs does happen to be disabled from walking, but in a wheelchair they are perhaps only disabled from entering a building or being on the sidewalk if there is no ramp or incline access. Then, they are enabled access regardless of certain, specific limitations.

However, everything and I mean everything that exists in actuality, is about or has or is produced by certain, specific limitations. This is really a general claim in my own philosophy grab bag that makes sense both in fundamental particle physics as well as psychiatric disability legislation. The electrons exist in certain, specifically delimited orbital shells. I am not allowed to work for the police as an officer. For numerous reasons.

My schizophrenia is NOT a made up label. Get it straight, you may be wrongly labeled. I am schizophrenic, ok? I understood and called myself schizophrenic -on my own-, without being diagnosed or called psycho by anyone. 

Yes I had been called weird on the school playground for most of my life. However, that did not preclude me from going online the world wide web in 1999 and reading a bunch of people self-identify their schizophrenia. I read descriptions of experiences, accounts of delusions and hallucinations, paranoia and anxiety, social difficulties and also some traits I would even consider beneficial with the right integration and adaption in activities and social groups that are enabling for me rather than disabling, which frankly speaking, are only the activities and social groups which cause my symptoms to spiral out intensely and harmfully.

Calling schizophrenia a mere label that is just a delusion of a doctor is about as straightforwardly foolish as saying it is only and merely a biological switch.

I have two YouTube comments with this selfsame sentiment that I found on the same video about doubting delusions (Doubt Yourself Too) that I made in the past:

I personally dont believe in medical diagnosis, especially for what they call "Mental Disabilities" because i was once in and out of Mental Hostpitals myself, feeling crazy and helpless.

You have no idea whether what you are saying makes sense, saying that I do not, when I know for a fact that schizophrenia _is_ the suppression of a DNA GTCA expression... if you are talking about schizoaffective disorder, then yes, it is an overactivation of a DNA GTCA expression. Once you know that your disorder comes about for a very logical reason, it is easy to reconcile to.



"The study has made it clear that schizophrenia is not a single or small set of ailments, but rather an extensive and varied group of conditions, which may occur for completely different reasons, and which may have myriad ways of expressing themselves," says Thomas Werge, Head of Research at the Sct. Hans Mental Health Centre, at Copenhagen's University Hospital. __
