That Schizophrenia patients smoke a lot is well known. I guess this explains it.

The other weird Schizophrenia fact is that blind people are never Schizophrenic. Congenital Blindness, that is. Poking your eyes out won't cure Schizophrenia once you have it.



This is odd. I've met a blind schizophrenic.

Edit: ah, "congenital" blindness. The person I met lost their sight very early in life, I think immediately after birth.


> blind people are never Schizophrenic

That is an interesting observation. Do you have a source?



Thank you, very exciting.


But how about poking your visual cortex out?


People who are blind (congenital or otherwise) still use their visual cortex.


The NPR Invisibilia podcast episode called "How to be Batman" tells a fascinating story about this.
