Since you give so little in return, you may watch me dance, or better yet I'll watch you dance after playing a game of poker.

Your noted absence from the planet makes you unqualified for the protection of Neptunian Laws.

Okay, I've been on a diagnosis bender. This little fact gives you the label of a hypochondriac.

No, I can't say that you've yet been able to satisfy me. You have a knack for leaving me hanging. (And they say women are teases!)My reason for being nosey was that the answer you are looking for depends on the age, sex, racial background, etc. There are definite external things that will cause the illness to trigger: wacky tabbacy (innocent thing in itself unless you have a predisposition for this illness,) stress, AD's, etc. There's also a timeline that the illness likes to use, but it's never perfect. For instance men usually show signs in their later teens, but my family it rears up in the thirties. If you are concerned about someone odds are in favour of them having an illness such as bi-polar, which during it's manic phase can mimic schizophrenia. Also, severe depressive states and other illnesses plus side effects of drugs can do the same thing.
So if you are looking for a specific answer, you need to be more forth coming with your info. If the concern is for yourself, pardon the expression, but you are well past the age for this illness, dementia from such illnesses as alzeheimers is a better bet if you are a betting man.
Well the sun is shining here, and I need to go walk my pre-teen and her friend, plus my other rugrats. Paranoia is a symptom of the illness. Over come your fears, and join me in chat.
