Sorry that you had a bad experience with anti-psychotic, and a bad experience with Psychiatrist as well, I see? I am happy that you don’t need any medication now to survive, and if you do okay without medication, sure you can stay away from it, no matter what the society said to you. But the case with every single person is different. For example, my Psychiatrist did tell me about the brain damage possibilities, and I know I would end up in hospital or prison if I didn’t take my meds. Everyone’s illness is unique just like everyone’s personality is different, even though the name of the illness is just the same. To encourage others, without knowing what their real issue is, not to take their medication, is not a wise thing to do. Oh, and welcome to the forum
