Is schizophrenia on the same spectrum as agoraphobia and claustrophobia? If not, then it's irrelevant.
Two related illnesses (agoraphobia & claustrophobia, or loneliness & being overwhelmed by contact) can be discussed at the same time without conflict.
Discussions about heart disease can naturally include stroke.
Discussions about thyroid cancer can naturally include prostate cancer.
Discussion about irritable bowel disease can naturally include inflammatory bowel disease.
Talking about eye disease by bringing up foot fungus is probably not going to be helpful...
Mental health is a profoundly important and covers a diverse set of widely differing conditions can’t believe that you are shutting down a conversation about schizophrenia because it doesn’t immediately conform to your narrow idea of what the so-called ‘topic’ of the conversation is. Horrific.
It's pretty disappointing that in a discussion about mental health, there's a bullying mentality that not only shuts down legitimate conversation, but is intended to demean and humiliate another person.
You should honestly be ashamed of yourself.
And I’m pretty disappointed that in a discussion as serious about something as the loneliness epidemic that is blighting so many lives, someone tries to side track it onto their own, and quite separate pet subject. But you do you.
