I have a 100+ avg so far (cuz extra credit)
But I still need to drop out of psych cuz this:
"The brains of people who have schizophrenia are
usually smaller than normal, indicating that they have fewer
neurons."
It has a citation but the citation says NOTHING about that. I did a scholarly search on that issue and found nothing like it. I did find articles that said it's associated with poor insight about the illness, and that anti-psychotic treatment is linked with brain shrinkage for schizophrenia.
They have been bullshitting over and over, I'm in an indoctrination program and I have no choice but to go through with it. Fuck this.

Meh, it's basically the science of common sense. As long as you've got a functioning IQ, you don't need to know it.
For the life of me, I don't understand why General Ed. is even a thing in higher education. Hell, I was so burnt out after two years of useless bunk like Music History and Spanish 101 that I actually dropped out and didn't come back for 4 years.
... and I was an honor roll student.

www madinamerica com/2013/06/antipsychotics-and-brain-shrinkage-an-update/
This study confirmed other evidence that antipsychotics shrink the brain. When MRI scans became available in the 1990s, they were able to detect subtle levels of brain volume reduction in people diagnosed with schizophrenia or psychosis. This lead to the idea that psychosis is a toxic brain state, and was used to justify the claim that early treatment with antipsychotics was necessary to prevent brain damage. People even started to refer to these drugs as having “neuroprotective” properties, and schizophrenia was increasingly described in neo-Kraeplinian terms as a neurodegenerative condition(2).
The trouble with this interpretation was that all the people in these studies were taking antipsychotic drugs. Peter Breggin suggested that the smaller brains and larger brain cavities observed in people diagnosed with schizophrenia in these and older studies using the less sensitive CT scans, were a consequence of antipsychotic drugs(3), but no one took him seriously. It was assumed that these findings revealed the brain abnormalities that were thought to constitute schizophrenia, and for a long time no one paid much attention to the effects of treatment. Where the effects of antipsychotics were explored, however, there were some indications that the drugs might have a negative impact on brain volume(4).
