This is my update on how it's been going and the significant impact it has had on my mental health. For a long time, my doctor has advised me to exercise, but I have always found myself being lazy and putting it off. Exercise seemed like a daunting task, especially when struggling with the symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia. The idea of getting up and moving felt overwhelming, and I was skeptical about how much a simple workout could actually help. However, as time passed, I realized just how right my doctor was!

Remarkably, my symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia have diminished, even after my doctor reduced my nighttime medication from 400 to 300 milligrams.
