I made no statements remotely like this.



> Schizophrenia has very specific and easily observed symptoms and is specifically affected by medications such as Zyprexa that doesn’t cause similar changes in behavior for people without schizophrenia or psychosis.

By the nature of these drugs, each and every symptom of what you pronounce Schizophrenia would be your daily life once on the poisonous neuro-toxic agents.


This doesn't seem science-backed and feels more emotional.


Whatever feels for you emotional or not is irrelevant. It is science-backed that each and every "Schizophrenia" symptom of a book that resembles the bible and nothing else (going by the name of DSM) is a product of chemically induced damage and torture with neuro-toxic poison.


It is not science-backed the schizophrenia is caused by schizophrenia medication. That doesn't even account for people who have psychosis evident of schizophrenia but have never taken medication.


> It is not science-backed the schizophrenia is caused by schizophrenia medication It truly is. The fact psychosis can be caused by alchohol withdrawal even (delirium) is irrelevant. Psychiatric "medications" directly cause schizophrenic symptoms and everything, hallucinations included. They not only lobotomize people, but also cause tremendous suffering and non reversible permanent damage. If you really believe all this, you should check your facts straight.


Do you have any sources for this? No offense, but this sounds a bit crazy. Again, this doesn't account for people who are unmedicated and clearly have symptoms. Schizophrenia doesn't seem to be caused by Schizophrenia medication, that doesn't even make sense. How would they get the medication then?


The "medication" is not something anyone gets better with. They become easier to deal with and they essentially live less, both in terms of effective living (thinking, talking, creating) as well as long-term living (life span reduction). As far as your request per sources, here it is:

A background on the author:

I feel like you don’t know anyone personally who has schizophrenia or you wouldn’t dare to say this. People tend to develop schizophrenia in young adulthood and it’s not after taking antipsychotics they take antipsychotics after developing schizophrenia. Schizophrenia existed before the development of antipsychotic medications, that’s why they were developed at all.

There’s nothing to glorify in schizophrenia- it’s in many ways worse than losing your loved ones in a tragic accident. It’s even worse for the schizophrenic who after having a normal life descends into paranoid delusion and take on an existence of misery.

I know the right answer here is for me to ignore and walk on but it’s hard to do so and leave statements like these unqualified.


I dare to say this because I really know what I am talking about. Every symptom of what you call "Schizophrenia", cited by the bible-like book going of the name DSM, is directly caused by dopamine antagonists. I am not saying "Schizophrenia" does not exist by itself, I am just saying that it's being categorized as well as treated in a specific manner on purpose. There are far better alternatives and remedies one could actually utilize to achieve better therapeutic results. And by the way, it has been scientifically proven that people without "medication" do better long-term.
