TheGman6072 Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 So one of my mom's best friends passed away in October. Well my mom just told me that her friend who passed away took LSD when she was young and I heard that she was "mildly schizophrenic" and had a history of depression from doing drugs. Well the first thought that ran through my head was "oh my god she wasn't schizo. She had fucking HPPD !". This totally pissed me off cuz I hear a lot about doctors telling people who have HPPD that they have schizophrenia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugger Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Haha man how do you make the assumption that she had HPPD and wasn't schizophrenic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGman6072 Posted August 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Well cuz the use of drugs and depression kinda makes it make sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onelovez Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 I haven't heard about anybody being told he is schizophrenic why only having HPPD. Those conditions are very, very distinguishable. Schizophrenics are not aware that they hallucinations are not real, while people with HPPD do (or should I say pseudo-hallucinations). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keep positive Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 LSD use can trigger schizophrenic behavior IIRC but it is a pre-existing condition. I wouldn't assume it is HPPD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fawkinchit Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 HPPD is often confused with other psychological disorders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
