Thanks for finding my joke about anti-socials funny, but you did not respond to these questions of mine, so I bring them up again. What do you suggest? Stop calling "hearing voices" a symptom of schizophrenia? Call it "individual characteristics" instead? If you do, people will not stop hearing voices, and being frightened by these voices. The symptoms of schizophrenia would not go away, even if you try to normalize them. They will still be in need of treatment, and the standard treatment is AP - you cannot talk a person out of hearing voices, you have to medicate. I'm lucky, I do not hear voices, but I understand that other people do, that it is human suffering, that a mental health system should be in place to diagnose and treat such people to minimize human suffering as well as, hopefully, harm to others.
So I do not understand what you suggest in regards to schizophrenia.
