  • that we know of! the trouble with delusional disorder is that it by definition presents without many of the troublesome characteristics of schizophrenia. and delusions, by definition, persist in the face of evidence, so insight is generally lacking. in other words, we could hypothesize that most cases of delusional disorder are never reported!

  • nope! either/or. usually has both delusions and hallucinations but as long as there's at least one

    and with minimal insights, they may not perceive the voices as hallucinations. to them it might be a broadcast or just a noise or something

  • Excuse me, NO, this is deadly medical misinfo. Detox is individualized, first and foremost. We don't know what an individual patient is going to experience when they detox or what complications they could have.

    Furthermore, we have no idea what this person is drinking in a day. All we know is that they're having two to four times the alcohol than the average person drinks when they get sent to detox while drinking in the mornings before their appts with me. 4 just to get to baseline is indicative of severe use disorder, though we cant tell without more info.

    You have to remember, someone drinking four drinks in the middle of work is easily drinking "a bottle" a day as-is. Work is when they tone it DOWN.

  • cant dx schizophrenia without more info. all we can identify is a few reported symptoms from a third party. the secret messages are called Loose Associations and that with the persistence of belief in the face of evidence to the contrary indicates a delusional belief, but those can occur in several psychotic disorders. for schizophrenia we'd at least need to confirm two out of three of bizarre motor activity, disorganized speech, and preferably some negative (withdrawing) symptoms like flat affect, avolition, etc

  • yep. needing 4 drinks to get right, that sounds quite severe too. even needing 1 is a massive red flag. when the body shakes the morning after drinking, it can be a sign that your body is no longer able to function without alcohol.

    detox will need to be medically managed at that point as cold turkey is now life threatening; quitting drinking will seem impossible and yet has now become more urgent than ever

  • it never works on you and me maybe, but it seems like the normies eat that shit up

    It makes me feel like I'm better than them. which I'm aware seems to be a character flaw, but not one I care about, I guess! enjoy your shitty fifth superhero movie reboot or whatever
