I have a psychotic disorder and I fucking LOVE carbonated water... debunked?

Bullshit, film yourself drinking a glass of carbonated water and upload it
"A psychotic disorder" doesn't mean schizophrenia, and, you've only proven you don't have Florian syndrome (carbonation grimace at a rest). The test for schizophrenia involves sipping soda from a glass, not a bottle, while maintaining a precise exercise in the top half of the face. I've described the instructions for attaining this face in the original post.
What difference does drinking from a glass have from drinking out of a bottle? What happens if you leave all the muscles in your face lax?
This is the legend who burnt down the asylum. Show respect.
The entire point is to tighten muscles in the upper half of the face and leave the muscles in the lower half of the face loose. A bottle will require a small amount of lowerface effort, and I just don't anyone to throw the test off. As a matter of fact, I was recommending you drop soda in from a fingered straw before I concluded a glass was easy enough to work with.
If there is no facial exercise (and all the muscles in the face are at rest) then no carbonation grimace would be expected.
I love how bullshit your "low glutamate means schizophrenia" theory is. It is a real theory but not only has there been a lack of evidence to prove it causes schizophrenia, but any time they try to treat the "glutamate source" it shows little to no effectiveness.
Please get help, and don't burn down the psychiatric office in the process this time.

Glutamate is the spooky neurotransmitter. It's so ubiquitous but the question of What Does It Do is so much less straightforward than for serotonin or norepinephrine. But its rules are rules I learn because I absolutely have to learn them to function.
NMDA is a subtype of glutamate receptor, and that's the one that's linked to schizophrenia. Glutamate hypofunction across the board, rather, is what I have, and that's Florian syndrome, which isn't psychotic. We have to ask what happens if you're positive for non-NMDA and negative for NMDA, and vice versa, and perhaps we have to look further between the non-NMDA subtypes - AMPA and kainate, which makes it even more difficult. I'm currently experimenting with theanine, a non-NMDA antagonist, and waiting for conclusive results.
In the end, it will be very informative if a thousand confirmed schizophrenics show carbonation grimace when they perform the precise facial exercise I describe, with a sip of soda.
