Per capita, Singapore has far lower drug use and drug-induced psychosis than the U.S., but overall schizophrenia prevalence is broadly similar, meaning zero-tolerance policies likely reduce triggered and severe cases rather than eliminate the illness itself.
The kid may have it but it's more likely he would have been diagnosed with it later in the future, rather than now.
He wasn’t diagnosed with it yesterday... He’s had it for years. Drugs do not give you schizophrenia. Period!
Drugs can give you psychosis on a temporary basis... If it last longer then it’s schizophrenia and you would get it regardless of the drugs. He has plain old schizophrenia...
There is no end to that... Because it’s chronic, but it is treatable with drugs and he was probably prescribed drugs, but he likely wasn’t taking them. Lots of schizoids stop taking their drugs because they don’t like being doped up... They like feeling as crazy as they can be, apparently its more desirable for them because being crazy is ‘normal’ for them and they like feeling normal.
