Abstract:

I am a scientist with a PhD and a patient with schizophrenia since 2002. I have the advantage that I can research this illness with my own experience in mind. Since 2008, I have researched schizophrenia intensively, and published a book about it called Health and Safety for Spirit Seers, Telepaths and Visionaries – Self-help for Schizophrenia.I will argue that the symptoms have a spiritual quality. My symptoms distinctly feel like spirit communication and telepathy (one can also call it clairaudience and clairvoyance). I always argue, also in my book, that the symptoms of schizophrenia must be thought of as telepathy.There is not necessarily a cure for schizophrenia. But this illness can be managed so that it is less destructive and less painful to live with. I will show how medications, spirituality, and supplemental therapies, such as vitamin therapy and music therapy and a very healthy lifestyle, amongst others, can help in managing the condition and live a happier and healthier life. I will also show how spirituality, practicing love and kindness in all affairs, but also confidence, and the character building 12 step programs can help overcome the worst isolation and stigma.
