Schizophrenia and high iq

I have an IQ of 186. Can that relate to my schizophrenia in any way. I only ask because it is not my specialization.

you mean life is far TOO short for such things.

I'm not an expert in this, but I would think that Schizophrenia and IQ are unrelated, as people with average IQ or even low IQ's can be Schizophrenic.

however, there are instances where higher intelligence leads to some other cognative abilities that are significantly weaker than average.

the reason I ask I that it seems my mind works faster when more then one presonality is speaking. like two mind are better than one

my brother has Schizophrenia and he also has a very high IQ.im not sure but I have heard that a lot of people with schizophrenia are very intelligent.it could be related..

You've muddied the waters a bit with the last comment, I'm afraid, cook. With what, exactly, have you been diagnosed? Schizophrenia and dissociative personality disorder are two different illnesses.

now think about this amost all people with realy hight have some mental disorter or some phyisical disorter. not to say that all have this.
stephen hawking has a phyisical disorter and his IQ is 160.
Hitler completely nuts IQ 141
Albert Einstein at the end of this life he went completely insane from trying to finish the unified theory.
so the true Question is are all those who are highly intelligent in the end driven mad by there own comprehension.

I'd need to see some citations on this before I ventured any comment. I have never heard of any studies linking intelligence and physical and mental disorders. Do you have the links to the studies? And in the biographies of Einstein I've read, I've never heard any mention of a mental disorder, but perhaps you know of a source I do not.

But my question stems back to your original post -- with what have you been diagnosed, schizophrenia or DPD?

sorry when I said my two personality help me think faster. I should of said my hallucinations some how give me some new knowledge of things like two mind working at once. I dont realy understand it, realy

I can see why thinking outside the box so to speak (which people who have mental disorders sometimes do) could lead to innovation, so I can see where a hazy connection might be drawn, but I havent heard of any studies linking IQ to disorders...

mabye some studies should be done on such things.

the way you talk doens't seem like your IQ is that high xD

why should I care what you think. life is far to short for such things.

you try typing with 1 hour sleep in 6 days

Do you find it a little disingenuous that you posted a question asking us what we think and then tell us that you don't care what we think?

But I agree with Jello -- it's difficult to accept that your IQ is as high as you say it is when your spelling, grammar, and punctuation are so poor.

why care about that I have more important things to do. geting the message across should be the main thing

how would lack of sleep affect that?

what is your problem. Do you enjoy canabalizing my time with stupidity...

time out!
be nice people!

now can we get back to the true quesion. think for youselfs looking back into time amost all higher IQ individuals are preyed on by some illnesses. true or not
but now think most killers.Good killers that kill 50 or more people have what.

Exactly!!! Be nice. I know A lot of people, mainly kids, who are autistic. These children are VERY smart. They are extremely particular about where things go and how things are done. They have to have a routine. They stick by this routine, no matter what! When their routine goes in a different direction it is hard for them.

My nephew is Autistic and he is 12. Smartest 12 year old I have ever come across. I don't know his IQ though. I'll ask my sister if he has been tested.

Cook11111 - what you're doing is using an availability heuristic: making a judgment based on what you can remember, rather than complete data. In particular it is used for judging frequency or likelihood of events.

These are a few examples you can think of or remember and so you're assuming that it's a pattern. Until you get information from a good number of people (say like a 1000) and compare those with high IQs to those with low IQs and see if a greater percentage of people with high IQs have mental disorders you cant know if it is true or not... but if it is really something you're curious about, I'll look it up when I get to school and have access to psychology journals... just funmail me and remind me...
