Does mental illness carry over to next lives?

[John Smith]

I have schizoaffective disorder (a form of schizophrenia basically).What do you think, will it persist after death?

 

[Ivenocare]

I hope not; if so im screwed.

 

[discokicks]

No. It's eternal peace. You didn't choose to be here and therefore it be will like before you were born - nothing.

We all have to learn different lessons in different lives, depending on your lessons, you may or may not have this disease. It is my opinion on the subject, so take it with a grain of salt.

Your brain ceases to function when you're dead. There will be no you.

Yeah, my biggest fear in all of this is coming back even more debilitated than I am now..

But, lately.. my pain has outweighed my fear.

No one knows anything about what happens after death unfortunately. It could be nothing, we could be in a simulation, we could go to a form of heaven or hell...who knows.

All very true. This could be a simulation right now and we need to start over.

As far as I know schizoaffective disorder is neurological-based (but sympthoms are mostly depended on behavioral and social factors and I heard about cases that people with SAD were able to live very comfortably with pharmaco-, psychotherapy and social support). But if it is neuro(genetic) based, after brain death any sympthoms should stop (probably also as any affective and cognitive states such as emotions, thoughts, perception).

I was thinking along the lines of Solipsism but that works too.

Yeah, just before I got super serious about ending it all, I researched reasons why people don't commit suicide and one I saw was fear of being reincarnated and become worse off to learn a lesson you didn't before, like gratitude or something idk.

Different worlds, different laws. A new family tree, a new and healthy brain for a serene soul.

I don't see how repeating any part of the previous soul contract would help you to overcome not wanting to kill yourself again being the exact same personality type and having no memory of it.

No. Your schizoaffective disorder will vanish with your death..although I have no proof of this, I am a firm believer in reincarnation. Bad karma does NOT exist; you live your life over again until you get it right. I would highly recommend Dr. Robert Lanza's Nobel prize winner "Biocentrism". That may not give you hope, but it should help with your fears. For Lanza, death is a stubbornly persistent illusion; we are reborn as ourselves, forever.

 

[Throwmyselfaway]

No. I believe in reincarnation/ past lives. If I'm correct this is the first time I've had mental issues.
