Bimini, I read your post and I think it is pretty clear that you do not have a severe mental illness like schizophrenia. What you have is a brain injury. You have psychotic symptoms, but these are due to the lesion in your brain. I do not think your illness will progress to include paranoia.
My symptoms developed slowly but there hasn't been much change in the last year. I can function at a minimal level with my two antipsychotic medications.

> XJS7, I didn't know that. Interesting. I don't have paranoia either, maybe something which can progress? Have symptoms changed in any way for you?
