New Meta-Analysis: Cats and Schizophrenia

I would like to add cat ownership as a risk factor. See meta-analysis in Schizophrenia Bulletin: https://doi.org/10.1093/schbul/sbad168. SigTif (talk) 15:53, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

I would support adding this, I was even thinking about doing the same. Bendegúz Ács (talk) 09:48, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
Sounds like correllation not causation. Schizophrenics are austracized so they seek pets. I'm schizophrenic and I've had a cat for the past 4 years. Without her I wouldn't even be here. 17 cases is science apparently, too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skinmarquee (talk • contribs) 05:07, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
The article doesn't say it's causation. Whether or not the association remains true when you only include healthy people at the time of cat ownership is unfortunately not clear from the abstract and I don't have access to the whole study. But in any case, Misplaced Pages editors are not supposed to perform peer review. What you can do is read the study (get access maybe through a patient request?) and try to see if it makes sense from your perspective or if you can find any issues with it.
I don't understand what you meant by "17 cases is science apparently, too.". Bendegúz Ács (talk) 15:43, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
The meta analysis included 17 studies, not people. SigTif (talk) 10:48, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

Prognosis

Suggest changing the abbreviated sidebar to a more hopeful and nonjudgmental language :

Prognosis: Depends on the individual, medication response, and therapeutic support available. 2603:3015:361C:100:5813:62D9:6233:8E10 (talk) 16:48, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

Violence

The new second paragraph under violence is unrelated to schizophrenia. It's about comorbid disorder and antisocial personality disorder NOT schizophrenia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skinmarquee (talk • contribs) 19:19, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Anthropological context: Schizophrenia is a severe mental illness characterized by cognitive deficits and often complicated by physical health issues. Cultural contexts significantly influence the diagnosis and perception of symptoms like hallucinations. In Western culture, schizophrenia is seen purely as a disease, while in places like Ghana and India, it has religious ties and is seen as separate from identity. Anti-social behaviour is viewed as “abnormal” in many cultural contexts, but those with schizophrenia may be considered “normal” if their behaviour aligns with social norms . The level of care varies with the stigma attached to schizophrenia across cultures. In the West, schizophrenia is heavily medicalized, often leading to social exclusion and identity issues. From an anthropological perspective, schizophrenia is a cultural construct; what is considered pathological in one society may be viewed as spiritual in another . In shamanic cultures, experiences like hearing voices are seen as part of a healer’s journey. Mental health is deeply embedded within social and political structures that define normalcy and pathology. This aligns with Scheper-Hughes and Lock’s concept of the "three bodies" —the individual body, social body, and body politic— emphasizing that perceptions of health and illness are socially constructed . Schizophrenia, therefore, is not universally defined but culturally mediated. Harvbill212 (talk) 01:24, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

Add A Fact: "No schizophrenia in congenitally blind"

I found a fact that might belong in this article. See the quote below

most studies agree that “there has not been even one reported case of a congenitally blind person who developed schizophrenia”

The fact comes from the following source:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4246684/


Additional comments from user: There seems to be a lot written about this, and it's a little nuanced, but it seems significant enough that WP should make some accurate mention of it.
