Schizophrenia Debunked: Non-violent, Unlike Stereotypes! "Normal People" More Violent Statistically
BC Schizophrenia Society is running their #BustAMythBC contest again this year, 2022!
To mark #MentalillnessMay, they called out to people with lived experience of psychosis, including schizophrenia, to create some content.
I participated in 2020, and now again nednednerB the Schizophrenic is here for #schizophreniafacts and to #smashstigma
Transcript:
"Schizophrenics must be feared for violence.
Mass murderers must be "crazy."
Only deranged people do such a thing.
It's impossible to understand, and I do not understand schizophrenics.
Right there, not understanding schizophrenia is the actual problem.
It's a KZread short, not much time for statistics.
Please look it up on your own!
Schizophrenics do less violence than the so-called general population.
There I said it.
Thanks BC Schizophrenia Society for running the Bust-A-Myth Contest."

Truth!!! Love this, Brenden 👍❤️⚔️🔥🐴
i’m already seeing some of that stuff regarding the uvalde shooter, it’s sad. people with psychotic disorders/experiencing psychosis are much more likely to be vulnerable to violence than they are to be violent.

It's very sad. I made these videos and a day or so later was all the Uvalde news. And I did see this theme in action on social media responses. Frustrating.
interesting but my take on it is that my own violence can be down to one of two things. 1. fear of violence. and 2. self-importance / narcissistic? 1. because I fear others being violent toward me I am in survival mode. kill or be killed mentality. 2. People disrespect me and so I react with violence as judge and arbiter punishing people for disrespecting me. when I an not just me but somebody who deserves respect and if I don't get it I'll hit them. so these are the two mindsets I experience.

Self-importance and narcissism are different from my experience of psychosis. Thinking for example "it's the end of the world" but then sacrificing all safety for something greater than the self. That is psychotic but not narcissism (diagnosis sense), and many many people I know who have described their technically untreated narcissistic others as variably abusive and dangerous who say I am very different in how I focus for others instead of primarily for myself. Sometimes dissociative disorder symptoms look like hallucinations and delusions, but it is self-insight and relationship dynamics that are what's very different about these things. (Statistically, people with borderline personality and narcissistic traits >do act out more violent tendencies than those with schizophrenia. It's quite complex though. Overall numbers don't describe individuals exactly.)
