People who are blind from birth never develop schizophrenia – what this tells us about the psychiatric condition | The-14

Why are people blind from birth not diagnosed with schizophrenia? Research reveals how vision shapes brain prediction systems and mental health risks.

Yes it is far too late, and from the UK perspective, Glasgow and London (plus much else) are f*cked as well. But the US dash to pollute will not help anyone. And at least they can afford it as a nation (our could if the people benefiting from the income shared it). Pacific Nations, Bangladesh and man y other will not survive,.

There has never been a known instance of schizophrenia in anybody who has been blind from birth. A hypothesized explanation is that, without complex visual input, the brain develops means of interpreting sensory input that has less ambiguity and is less susceptible to error and misinterpretation of reality.

People who are blind from birth never develop schizophrenia – what this tells us about the psychiatric condition

Understanding why people born blind never develop schizophrenia could transform how we think about and treat one of medicine’s most baffling conditions.
