Is the news good or bad for someone with Schizophrenia?

I wanted to ask this question because I think that the news is bad for chemical imbalances in the brain. I for one have a chemical misalignment in the brain and find that I am doing much better without the news in my life!

I know very little about Schizophrenia so cannot comment on it.
What I can comment on is whether Christianity is good or bad for you?

Yes I can understand that the conflict between theChristian world view and the atheistic secular world view can cause conflict, but seeking peace in a false world view is not going to do you any good.
Equally being caught in a Christian sub view that views mental illness as demonic or sickness as a lack of faith is even more disturbing.

Esentially the knowledge that your sins have been forgiven, that you and your illness is fully understood and allowed for, should be a cause for peace and stability.

Being part of a Christian fellowship who know you, suport you, care and pray for you, means you have a secure enviroment where you can live and serve God.

I am bipolar and schizophrenic which is probably the worst mix of the two possible. When I'm manic I don't sleep and when I don't sleep my psychosis gets worse and worse. Oftentimes when I'm having an episode (Which is about once a year lasting for up to 1-6 months) I get the whole nine yards. Seeing things that aren't really there, hearing things that aren't there, paranoia, religious delusions, the works. So when I'm both manic and psychotic I'm usually in store for a long and sucky episode.

Sometimes I just get depressive symptoms but when I get depressed it isn't like normal depression. It's soul sucking depression that really sucks to go through.

But anyway, I'm kept mostly under control with medication (My episodes would be a lot more frequent and severe without medication. Learned that one the hard way) and I'm able to live a decent life. If I had the choice though, I wouldn't pick Schizophrenia as the mental illness of choice. If I could only be old school depressed that would be a fantastic thing and would be my pick of the litter.
