Re: Schizophrenic Audio and Visual Hallucination Simulation
You clearly don't understand mental illness, and people often barbarically fear what they don't understand. Get some empathy and realize that pharmaceuticals aren't the answer anyways.

Re: Schizophrenic Audio and Visual Hallucination Simulation
If they are pleasantly psychotic there's no need to intervene, plenty of people live this way..but if they are a risk to themselves or to others they may be scheduled and be given medication against their will (IMI depo shot) Or a CTO in the community. Usually they settle and become compliant with meds again..some will never, dependent on circumstances.. I love pleasant Schizophrenics..having a psychosis, hugely interesting stories, delusions..behaviors.. |

Re: Schizophrenic Audio and Visual Hallucination Simulation
If people in the UK with mental illness refuse to take their medication daily or aren't able to remember it, they get a depot injection into their bum that lasts for 2-3 weeks. If they don't turn up for the depot and become erratic and dangerous to themselves or others then they are detained (sectioned) under the mental health act in a hospital and given a depot whether they like it or not. Its not a great system or solution but that's just how it goes. I'm a voice-hearer which is part of my psychotic depression but I take my tablets each day for my own quality of life. I'm also a qualified psychiatric nurse so I can see this from both sides.
