Not right now but astrologically speaking, I have that tendency when I get older![]()
Hey JP! Just FY (as it turns out a LOT of) I; statistically, mental illness (especially schizophrenia) in young men tends to manifest itself between ages 20-30. The magic number seems to be 26 for some reason. I don't know how old you are currently, but it's just something to watch for. As with most diseases or illnesses, early detection and prompt commencement of the right treatment is key. If you start to notice little changes in your mood and/or personality that can not be attributed to something going on in your life i.e. a death, breakup, losing your job, etc., see your doctor. If you feel depressed consistently for two weeks or more, you are technically suffering from clinical depression. Don't shrug it off and think it will go away. See a doctor straight away. If he dismisses you or blows it off, see another one. The quicker you are diagnosed and begin treatment whether you choose medication, therapy (or ideally a combination of both), the better chance you have of successful remission and/or total relief from your symptoms. In addition to that, if the medication you are prescribed doesn't seem to be working in the time they say it is supposed to, if you don't like the side effects it's causing, or if you have a bad reaction to it, tell your dr. right away so you can discuss other options. Do your homework; read up on the meds that are out there from someplace reliable like webMD. A lot of times you'll learn stuff your doctor doesn't tell you or maybe doesn't even know about. Don't be afraid to ask a lot of questions; it's your body and your health!
Even if you are not in this age bracket, the same holds true regarding early detection, etc.
As a sidebar, don't let the fact that your astro chart has predicted this become a self-fulfilling prophesy. Live your life as normal, not waiting for the "impending doom". That's a sure way to bring it to fruition.
If you or, anyone for that matter, have any questions about mental health, treatment, etc., PLEASE don't hesitate to PM me! I'm not an MD, but I've been dealing with mental health issues almost my whole life, so I have tons of accumulated first hand knowledge and info. I'm not a doctor and remind you that all of this is anecdotal. Always consult a professional. Peace out homies!
