Ater a binge I wasn't sure if this was describing me or Christopher Shamus...Psychotic symptoms of schizophrenia may lessen--a period during which doctors say the patient is in the residual stage or remission. Other symptoms, such as social withdrawal, inappropriate or blunted emotions, and extreme apathy, may continue during both these periods of remission and periods when psychosis returns--a period called relapse, and may persist for years. People with schizophrenia who are in remission still may not be mentally able to bathe or dress appropriately. They may speak in a monotone and report that they have no emotions at all. They appear to others as strange, disconcerting people who have odd speech habits and who live socially marginal lives.
