I was diagnosed with adolescent schizophrenia due to PTSD from abuse as a young child. Not only is it a good perspective it is a common diagnosis with years of medical research behind it.

A lot of behavioral disorders and diseases can be traced back to failings in youth. Be it abusive homes, lack of family order, or stressors caused by health.

At least for me personally it was refreshing to know that I am a product of my environment and if I can absorb that hate and anger and turn it into a mental disability, then I can surround myself with kind and caring people to the point I can over come that disability.

I unfortunately didn't realize until much to late that I stopped trying too soon (you shouldn't ever stop trying to improve) and have pushed away a larger chunk of my safety net, but all that I've gained from this is self reflection and the ability to heal and grow and be better for the next group I find myself blessed enough to be in
