schizophrenics why do they either here god or feel the need to be a super hero?

Answer 1

there is something that is needed to be understood. The schizophrenic mind is basically the normal human mind with all of its human characteristics (eg intelligence) greatly enhanced at the cost of some of the basic animalistic functions, such as cohearant thinking. It is the extreme human brain. They are not technically mentally ill (which is a very loose term) but this extreme mind does not communicate well with itself. They are actually superior to a so called "healthy" person in many ways. Their (generally) superior intellect and often a lack of empathy can cause them to believe that they are superior and must save their "inferiors". However saying that all are like this is a gross generalization.

Answer 2

From a mere non-philosopher, your wind-up question is non-answerable. I do not recognise the concept/label of "a Schizophrenic" and were I to continue I would write an essay. Answers isn't about writing essays, is it? It's about making us think at various levels - and I hope your question has done that. Even if it is a wind-up! It must be...excuse my ignorance/lack of humour...I'm not familiar with the philosophy section.

Answer 3

schizophrenics hear voices...each depends on te type of schizophrenia they suffer with..there are many different types but I have heard that the medical council is changing this illness to a different name becos it's very generalised..they also have delusions (such as they think there's things happening which are not such as they believe there's an attack of war outside which isn't real & they might have illusions etc..basically they are out of touch with ordinary reality...they are on a different level of reality

Answer 4

That is a very supergeneralized observation. Schizophrenics and others who suffer auditory or visual delusions, or any delusionary self-aggrandizement do not just become super heroes or voicers.

The nature of the delusion usually seems to conform to issues of their emotional psychic health outside of the illness.

Like a healthy persons issues, theirs are dependent on the baggage of the person, not his illness.

Answer 5

They don't.

You clearly know little about schizophrenia. Some hear unexplained voices, some feel persecuted, some just can't understand what's happening to them. Go away and come back when you have a real question.

Answer 6

That's a sweeping generalisation. A person with schizophrenia is as individual as the next person. Any one who has a mental health problem needs compassion and understanding.

Answer 7

it may be that some people have grown out of this world of limitation and when they attempt to live in the world within themselves they are considered not normal so a label is put on them....they may be living in a different level of consciousness that is actually higher than what we call normal...society has a way of discarding one way or another what it considers not fitting in and society itself does not seem right to me maybe i am schizo... i do talk to god and i know what god is saying to me

Answer 8

my gown could be crimson. my tremendous power could be that my surprising movements could create this enormous wave of mass destruction. so no you will desire to fairly injury me. my topic music could be some thing beautiful and girlie. and yeah i could cover the incontrovertible fact that i replaced right into a tremendous hero.

Answer 9

They are mentally ill. They hear voices and believe that they're real because their built-in walls separating reality from illusion are breaking down.

Answer 10

I always ascribed it to an atypically increased degree of dopamine activity in the mesolimbic pathway. But maybe that's just me.
