I apologize for being vague,  I was referring more to the case studies,  I think that medication isn't the be all and end all,  I asked my phyciatrist what does the medicine do,  how does it help me,  He said "we dont actually know" great vote of confidence, I found learning to accept my ideas and thoughts helpful.

the schizophrenic can't control his objectified perceptions and sometimes needs drugs to stop them.

This rings true,  but by making me a zombie in the process is defeating life.  i guess im looking for alternatives

Its interesting to get your thoughts on the other aspect,  shamanism,  I have read about schizophrenia and shamism,  maybe desperately searching for answers for my condition.

Hi,  I'm new here.

Schizophrenia is a word for a very broad illness,  it comes in many fruits and colours.  I had  been diagnosed a schizophrenic for about 10 years,  the mental anguish was extremely difficult to bare and still is sometimes,  but from personal experience i found that instead of thinking theres something wrong with me,  as the doctors told me,  i would embrace my ideas and thoughts and go with them,  they are harmless ideas i must add.  This acceptance of myself,  caused an obvious improvement.  here is an interesting read
