I hope I did not mislead you pachyderm or our new member. I didn't insinuate that medications are cures,,,there are very few chemicals that fill this wish (but there are some). I did subtly state that without medications his progress will be slow and it will probably be more painfull than with medical support.

I personally think that on a public forum it is in the best interest of the member to support what the professional community has or would suggest. In the specific case of psychosis there are a variety of prescription methodologies which mitigate many of the most severe symptoms and offer considerable relief to the patient. This is regardless of cause.

The halls of medical schools and hospitals are filled with horror stories of folks who leave their scripts behind.

IMHO.
