(146,218 posts)57. Interesting, but that is not a recognized biomarker test for schizophrenia.
There aren't any, but hopefully there will be some day. Schizophrenia is a very difficult illness and I am sorry for what you and your family have been through.
One of the hardest things about both schizophrenia and alzheimer's is that people don't generally die from either one. They do die from complications of both illnesses (dangerous behavior, suicide in schiz and loss of mobility/ability to eat in alz's). It's hard to watch someone suffer. Fortunately, the meds for schiz have come a long way. Not so much for alzheimers.

I see you can't shake your dishonesty. It takes a small person to be able to hide behind an ellipsis

An honest opinion! I believe that God allowed the laws of physics to be put aside when Jesus came.
