Schizophrenia

[elaine]

Schizophrenia needs to be understood... these people who can talk about their experiences effectively need to be listened to, this is invaluable information. There could be major breakthroughs from this... anti-psychotics are pure poison and the barbaric treatment of schizophrenics has got to stop. If humanity can't understand this and properly/healthily deal with this, they have no business trying to colonize space and all these other ridiculous things they're so obsessed with.

The use of the concept "schizophrenia"  already stands in the way of ever reaching an understanding of the phenomena we classify as schizophrenic, every individual experiences reality in a unique way, what gets classified as schizophrenia are just the experiences that threaten our illusion of being in a shared reality. If we want to reach a breakthrough, it's not gonna happen by continueing to use all these concepts of "mental illness" we've created to secure our "normality", we're not treating people, we're treating concepts we've invented and by doing that we've made it a reality that in my opinion only enhances the occurence of mental illness.
To reach a breakthrough we've to give up on everything we've created to maintain this illusion of a shared reality, only that creates the oppurtunity to redevelop our methods of interaction so we can embrace every human being as an entity with completely unique experiences.

In our current illusion of shared reality I classify as "schizophrenic" but I denied the diagnosis and instead decided to become a "clinical psychologist", first of all to realize these labels we're constantly forced to take on are completely subjective and can be altered by just using our own mind but that, is also the greatest obstacle cause we've never been taught to actually use our own minds, everything is given to us which for a lot of people works out alright but never too well either, good enough I suppose, so we continue, while for the ones it doesn't work out, the ones that suffer under this reality they're forced to take on, we can't help cause our help causes the suffering.
