Don't bother. He's sewing dresses for his cat.

Yeah, but we are talking about paranoid schizophrenia not "any schizoaffective disorder".  But you are right about one thing, you don't know.

do you really believe every case of paranoid schizophrenia is the same? you mentioned hallucinations earlier. are you aware not every case of paranoid schizophrenia involves hallucinations? that's a hollywood myth. and, i'm pretty familiar with paranoid schizophrenia.

Yes, but there is always an element of psychosis which is a deal breaker for a job.  People who can't accurately perceive reality is a huge problem.

Remember, just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after you.

wasn't referring to me.

delusional thinking/inaccurate perception of reality doesn't always lead to public outbursts. people with mental conditions can hide their thoughts around strangers, especially those with milder symptoms.

Outburts aren't really the problem.  The inability to tell the difference between reality and what's in your head is the problem.  I have no idea why you are pushing this, but you are sorta out of your depth here.

It's crazy what paranoid schizophrenics can make themselves believe is true. The human mind is a really powerful tool with incredible powers of self-destruction.

outbursts or some public display is exactly the issue in contention, raz, because you're saying an unmedicated paranoid schizophrenic simply cannot maintain steady employment -- no exceptions. employers and coworkers aren't mind-readers, so whether an employee has delusions doesn't matter if that person manages to keep those delusions to himself.

[MadImmortalMan]

From what I've seen they rarely can keep the delusions to themselves. Especially if unmedicated.
