“People who need help sometimes look a lot like people who don’t need help.”

Opinions on this as a symbol for the schizophrenic and psychotic spectrum community? It’s simple, with the wave in the middle symbolizing positive and negative symptoms, and the arrows pointing out symbolizing the vastness, scope, and diversity of the community?

I wanted to choose something that’s easily replicated and recognizable.

On a related note, what color do you feel should represent the community? I’ve seen silver and purple used to represent us in a few occasions but nothing widespread. I personally love purple as a color for us.

Early Warning Signs of Psychosis

Early warning signs of psychosis, particularly in the year leading up to the break, may include:

Worrisome drop in academic or job performance

New trouble thinking clearly or concentrating

Suspiciousness or uneasiness with others

Decline in self-care or personal hygiene

Spending a lot more time alone than usual

Increased sensitivity to sights or sounds

Mistaking noises for voices

Unusual or overly intense new ideas

Strange new feelings or having no feelings at all

Young adults in their 20s are the most common age group to experience the first onset of psychosis. This is a stage of life that usually challenges young people to develop more independence, establish an identity, create intimate relationships and move away from home. Immediate family members, who usually are most aware of changes in behavior of a loved one, play a less central role at this time, particularly if a person has moved to another city or state, such as to attend college or graduate school.
