Re: What the...?! Man rips out own eyes in church
That's why I was asking the HC clinician and not you. I'm asking if a person is hearing voices, but otherwise isn't showing impairment, then do they get the diagnosis (dx) or no.
Also, the legal system would disagree with you as far as the insanity defense goes. Schizophrenics who obey a voice knowing that what their actions will cause harm and are otherwise wrong, wouldn't be able to successfully plead insanity. This much I know from mental health law, however since I'm not a clinician, I don't know what they'd require for the dx of schizophrenia.
** Enough with the bunny talk please... joke made, however off-topic, so let's not beat a dead bunny, chicken, or whatever.
