And "schizo" is, to many of us schizophrenics, a fairly offensive term. In the future, you might want to spell the whole thing out. Just so you know.
how is it offensive?
I heard "Jew" is an offensive word, "ret*d" "ret*d" and of course "n****r." Now that is an offensive word for black people. So maybe that's what "schizo" is. That offensive.
I've heard 'schizo' used in a derogatory way, calling a person crazy. So that may be why it is offensive.

I can't really explain why. I just know that it is, so I was giving you a head's up. That's all. I wasn't mad or anything, and I certainly didn't mean to derail your thread.
