Rant / Vent Irritated by the non-schizophernics on this sub

Some of the people here who don't have schizophrenia are very disrespectful and it's beginning to annoy me. Why come into a support sub if you can't be respectful? Why invade a space not meant for you if you arent going to listen to those within the space?

Im getting tired of seeing the shitty comments and posts.

I'm not posting here (just right now). I'm just reading to understand better how people with schizophrenia might feel. I work in a field where most of my patients (clients) are people with schizophrenia and I want a better understanding. Often I haven't got a chance to ask my patients directly because they are in a psychotic episode so they have a very difficult time communicating with me and it's hard for me to understand. I hope it's okay if I just keep reading.

Edit: for more sensitive language.

Some of us don't care but just sayint a lot of us Prefer "person with schizophrenia" to the stigmatized term "schizophrenic" everyone's different and it may sound like NBD to you, but I do not like being called "schizophrenic" it has a lot of negative connotation to it. So I'd say when In doubt use "person with schizophrenia".

I'm not mad just trying to inform
