Schizophrenia Recovery without Medication—Hearing Voices
SHARE VIDEO
close
I hear insulting voices in my head. It is tough. I hear people calling me
poof, mong, creep, gay and wierdo. Although I am not gay. It is really
annoying hearing these insults from random people. I have to take
medication to stop the voices. But they are not stopped totally. I will
have to take meds for the rest of my life. I do not think i could cope
without the medication.
Many "psychiatrists" are probably in it to boost their own egos and
actually worsen the condition of their patients - unknowingly.
To all the quacks out there - Listen to this doctor ! He gets straight to
the point. Can you Believe all the mumbo-jumbo some "psychiatrists" come up
with - making the patient feel small by first stating "you will never be
free of this disease". Then they go on babbling on a much higher level like
an A-grade University professor making the patient feel like this is VERY
VERY hard, i will never bee free. Oh the so called "intelligent" doctors
supposed to help people...
Acting is beleiving..
the secret to stopping schiziphrenia is beleif ...the power of belief
...because the schizophrenic patents beleive that negative things are
happening to themselves or about them and around them. that is illogical
and because illogical need psychotherapy to correct the power of beleifsand
reasoning of the shizoprhrenic individual: ...though illogical the
shizophrenic simply beleve they have reasoning to being paraniod,
depressed. me personally when i was diagnosed with shizophrenia i had
voices and bad dreams. but when i challenged my own reasoning about that
which made me upset i began to figure out for myself that it was nothing to
fear or be depressed about and to do it would be illogical.

there are tons of cases for comparison. robert whitaker and peter breggin
talk about this a lot. the drugged people lived 25 years less on average...
Well, that's just it. No one can tell what is causing what as there are few
cases of severe mental illness in which the patient survived long term but
never took any medications. There would have to be many such confirmed
cases for any study to be of any value. It is impossible to tell what is
going on. There is no question that the meds cause changes in the brain.
hmm, good short-term care......suicide prevention.....not in the research
i've seen, nor in my personal experience. robert whitaker's "anatomy of an
epidemic" rebuts that. psychiatry is good at making episodic problems
chronic. but i do agree that long-term care is pretty poor.
My view of mental illness is that a lot of it starts as a psychological
problem with perhaps a genetic predisposition, and as time goes on, one
gets older and life gets more stressful, the psychological illness becomes
a physical one with a diseased brain. I am convinced there is a physical
side to serious mental illness, but it is far too complex for the workings
of it to be teased out yet, and maybe it never will be. Drugs alone are a
very crude, shoot from the hip approach to the problem.
If it were up to me, everyone would get meds if they wanted them,
transcranial magnetic stimulation if they wanted it, psychotherapy if they
wanted it, counseling on and help with nutrition and exercise if they
wanted it and perhaps, who knows in future? Perhaps there will be genetic
cures or something involving nanotechnology. But unfortunately for now, the
drugs are the easiest and most profitable thing for the whole system.
