Even my GP said that being isolated was bad & clearly it is as not only are symptoms more noticeable but you can't escape them & you can ruminate on what is going on.
I'm not saying that being socially involved is an alternative for meds but it's a coping mechanism & it might mean people can manage on lower doses of medication than if they were isolated.
It definitely plays a role.

thats good
yes i still take meds and even my AP (when needed) but personally for me psychosocial acitivites are a main factor for me getting well. because everryone here knows i still have a lot of symptoms on meds and i even shift into more depression as well as have psychosis when im ON meds. i have almost no depression off meds. almost. but it feels like its so much worse on meds because then i got positive symptoms and also depression while on meds.
honestly id rather just have positive symptoms and learn to maintain them with a little bit of meds than be on these high doses of 6-7 meds that im prescribed and be suicidal AND psychotic.
