That being said, we all have the freedom of choice to practice meditation and other types of "brain training" that are available. It is a struggle when being treated for depression to also be creatively inspired since SSRI meds tend to deaden the mind. It is scary though, when disorders result in behaviours that endanger the lives of other people. When paranoia is highly active or voices encourage aggression on innocent people, that is not something to take lightly. I would prefer medication.
