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 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.
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.
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.
Didn't pan out because it's not the plan to pan out. The plan is to make people think there's something wrong with them and recycle them with insurance.
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.
always the persecutory delusions, belief that they are some king or prophet/chosen one, disorganized thinking, and word salads. Why is it always the same symptoms?

Your argument is as good as calling Martha Mitchell crazy and dismissing entirely possible organized exploitation on a premise of made-up symptoms that are composed of zero scientific evidence.
This is actually a ridiculous answer. So you claim if you get get cold turkey'ed on Zyprexa you won't hallucinate or have mania? You claim, there are people out there, who take a dopamine antagonist without getting diabetes, organ issues, loss of self (fundamentally this is what these drugs do, deprive of brain function) and ultimately sudden death?
This.
Big pharma expanding psychiatric propaganda.
The primary concern would be one of electrolytes: sodium, potassium and magnesium. Each person is different of course and he should consult his doctor before engaging into a water fast.
You don't post the same URL twice with the same content therefore you maintain the logic of the API itself, so there's no spam or abuse of any kind.
Well said.
From the ~5 search queries I have done so far, it's not like "wow" but more like "yes".
I am really sorry for your mother and hope she is well. However, I do not agree that lithium is the answer you're looking for, nor the fact that she has mood swings is the problem. The problem is the reason behind the mood swings. Treating symptoms will never bring an effective solution to the problem. I can only imagine the cognitive overhaul and deterioration that comes with substances that mess with electrolytes (lithium). No matter what you read on "bipolarity", it lacks critical and fundamental deterministic proof. Don't get me wrong but, I like problems solved, not pretending to implement a "lithium" patch that completely and effectively blunts quality of life.
People throwing around labels like "bipolar" or "schizophrenic" without factual scientific evidence of what those labels really are is the real problem in the pursuit for scientific truth.
I expected no less from this massive propaganda of psychiatric killing that is ongoing. Your comment is a tiny hope in the hell they have created, wish you the best.
It doesn't take a medical degree to conduct information analysis on the whole psychiatric academic industry and field. They just bluntly lie their ass off on a constant basis and all research is mostly manipulated from money-making incentives. The rabbit hole is actually much deeper than that and it boils down to a capitalistic antagonistic society that thrives on making people sick to pump the value of the currency.
The only credible and actual effective approach is described with this fairly new book from Chris Palmer (professor assistant at Harvard university): https://www.amazon.com/Brain-Energy-Revolutionary-Understand...
If you go off your meds you go to a bad place pretty quickly and that's called withdrawals, in most cases which are protracted. You have been massively misinformed and led to believe there's something wrong with "you" as an entity when in fact you just have a great deal of metabolic damage caused by a vast amount of different experiences such as eating super-processed foods, having some mild food intolerance on specific foods that greatly impacts your mood, and overall great mitochondrial dysfunction. It is of increasing evidence that the keto-genic diet and being in ketosis makes quitting those meds much more easier and it is for a fact those meds cause directly what they claim to treat. Good luck.
The fact you embrace and accept metabolic damaging substances (all psychiatric substances are) and lack some very critical understanding in mitochondrial DNA damage and ATP production bottlenecks down on the cellular level is fascinating (which were the reason you had manic episodes to begin with if we were to make an educated guess). You are basically digesting and taking substances that further damage you and in the long-term are going to make you even worse. "Meaningful advice" like that is what keeps people enslaved to big-pharma and the largest human enslaved era the human history has ever witnessed.
I think the best theory we have up to date for mental irregularities is metabolic dysfunction and damage at the cellular level through environmental stress, inheritance preconditions and super-processed foods. Psychology does and can have an impact but it's only a small fraction of the picture. Healing does not take community, you cannot find coherent and healthy community in a fully-antagonistic capitalistic society.
That's a bit too generic I believe.. What if you don't have a sugar/junk craving in general due to diet? i.e. keto
How is it that a low-carb diet boosts your cognition and mental stamina?
Thank you for this very high quality article and initiative to finally take psychiatry seriously and address all the amount of harm and invalid coercion that fuels the unnecessary suffering of millions.
It is truly unfortunate to see how ignorant and misinformed most of these answers are. First, to understand what is a mental illness we have to deduce strong neuro-biological evidence of the problem and after-so we can proceed with an effective measure, a treatment, that is actually a treatment.
Currently, any kind of psychiatric label is equivalent to archaic prophecies. There's no credible scientific evidence to back up any kind of mental illness diagnostic. It is a facade.
Each and every medication supplied by psychiatrists is not a treatment. It is an inhumane process of complete eradication. Dopamine is a product of hormones among others and it is the core fuel of the brain. Dopamine is the resource with which you anticipate time. Dopamine is the resource with which you can memorize and have a cognitive function as a human being. Dopamine is the reason you have an imagination. Dopamine is the resource that transforms into energy for you to move your body. Shutting it down is nothing but a legal modern euthanasia.
You justify pills for an effective measure, when science itself tends to look towards the gut-microbiome and the inflammation reaching all the way up to the brain. Exact causes are still unknown, but: there are other things one should be treated with, and they are not pills. The ketogenic diet has completely cured people who have been diagnosed as schizo-affective (schizophrenia that is actually worse). People who have been diagnosed as bipolar have also seen tremendous benefits from the ketogenic diet and have been cured. There are many supplements one can use to optimize the overall neuro-biology along with daily routines that reinforce it.
But guess what? No psychiatrist actually pursues those choices, the biggest majority of them are "Here's your pills, next. You don't want them? Let me call the police.". Seeing people treating family members like that is also disheartening. Ignorance got us blind, blind to the madness we as society reinforce and blind to the actual truth.
Calling that a human process is completely ignorant, there's no way for you to know how it is like unless you have studied neuro-biology or you have been under the influence of a dopamine antagonist (commonly known as anti-psychotics).
And let me tell you something, there's nothing worse from seeing your lifetime go by and you being completely unable to live because you got no brain fuel. The worst possible prison is in our brains. Sometimes we build it ourselves, and sometimes other people do. Anti-psychotics is other people. That's how the real trauma occurs. That's how many innocents get "treated" from the society and the psychiatric community.
Putting people on drugs that disable their cognition and brain function and calling it progressively effective is nothing but a crime to me. Have a good day sir.
Do you enjoy being on a dopamine antagonist? Are you happy?
This is so well done, thank you for your contribution. An open-source of the whole approach would be greatly appreciated as well!
Happiness resides in the work and effort we put in the system that will work towards our goal. Well said.
And thus it is very wise to be grounded to the reality, however that is possible. Everyone is worse than me == superiority. Everyone is better than me == inferiority. Everyone does what they can and I should focus on what I can also, believing in myself and investing in my own growth == freedom.
