In reply to which medication? Re: Procrastination as Disease, posted by Maniz on November 3, 2000, at 13:52:09
Procrastination can be one of the symptoms of schizophrenia. It is one of the "negative" symptoms. Negative schizophrenia symptoms difficut to treat. Negative symptoms can also be CAUSED by anti-psychotic medication. I am diagnosed with schizophrenia, and recently went off my anti-psychotic medication (I am under the care of a psychiatrist - do not worry). My horribly debilitating negative symptoms (lack of motivation, apathy, blunt affect, short attention span) have evaporated after 13 years on medication - the whole time which I had negative symptoms, including procrastination.
