Five years ago I was diagnosed a paranoid schizophrenic, sectioned, and treated with anti-psychotics. Once I'd been discharged I came off the meds, deciding to deal with whatever was going on without modern medicine and its horrible side effects. I was convinced that my
delusions were not so easily explained away and, though they changed, they didn't dissapear. This year I was diagnosed with Multiple
Sclerosis which it appears I've had for ten years at least. This thing that interestes me is that, despite having a different disease, I experienced classic deluded thoughts of a schizophrenic, to such a degree that I was sectioned.
I am a television documentary producer in England and want to
understand what may have happened to me, and may be happening to others and maybe make a documentary about it. I wonder if (in strictest confidence) anybody would like to post or email me your experiences with schizophrenia. I'm interested in people who, like myself, are unhappy with the way psychiatrists refuse to examine the specifics of the "delusions" and "halucinations" they are presented by patients. Is it enough just to say that it's a chemical imballance? Is there anything spiritual or prophetic that we might be missing by ignoring the substance of people's "symptoms"?
I am, despite working for TV, a genuine searcher for truth and will exploit my own experiences before I do someone elses.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
