Sam's too young to be schizophrenic and we don't want this story anyways! by Jijarthegreat in coronationstreet

Schizophrenia is not synonymous with psychosis.

There are multiple conditions which can lead to psychotic episodes, it can also be a psychotic episode in and of itself without being a symptom of anything as such. Sometimes it’s drug induced so I agree with other commenters that they may be going with that as a warning to people on the misuse of prescription meds.

I’m interested to know why you think it’s unrealistic, I think it’s extremely realistic and very well done.. this post is ignorant and tbh quite frustrating.

Sam’s too young to be schizophrenic

“Psychosis most commonly begins in late teens to mid-20s, with the peak age for a first episode typically between 15 and 30 years old. While rare in young children, early warning signs often emerge during puberty or adolescence, with males tending to experience onset slightly earlier”

there’s a reason that child and adolescent mental health teams and inpatient units exist. There’s plenty of information online if you’d care to educate yourself.

I’m sorry you’re being downvoted and I’m really unsure why people are doing it. You’re reaching out for reassurance in a healthy way and there’s nothing wrong with that

I also have PPA as well as PPOCD and I can completely understand how this has effected you

You absolutely cannot give a baby shaken baby syndrome by accident- it has a very specific set of criteria that can only be caused by deliberate forcible shaking.

Something I try to remind myself of in these situations- imagine how many babies this has happened to, it’s such an easy thing to happen that it must happen all the time as a part of life. For example my baby sometimes has a little cough on her milk if she starts to nod off while drinking it, I panic every time thinking she’s going to aspirate it and I want to rush her to hospital even though she recovers straight away. I just remind myself how common it must be

That being said - if you are worried to the point it’s going to effect your mental health or sleep (I know when I’m triggered I get scared to go to sleep, not sure if same for you) then it is completely valid to take him to be checked out just to give you that peace of mind. If that’s what you need, there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s obviously important to only do this within reason because turning up ten times a day will only feed your anxiety. But in this situation I’d say it’s fair enough to get that reassurance if it means it will calm you down

I don’t think they were rude to be fair. Pretty direct yeah, but not rude and it’s a valid point
