HB, I think you are more asymptomatic because of your lifestyle changes. You have changed (in a postive way) a lot in the past year. Youve also made strides on resolving past feelings. This could and probably did help contribute to meds helping.

Regardless of what anyone is doing, its good to be informed.

Also I believe antipsychotics should be used as prn since they work so fast. Idk if I agree with long term use of meds unless youve tried to make different life choices and its clearly not working. However I think stuff like life management classes should be a requirement after diagnoses. Then you get tools to start working on problem areas.
