Ooh..fun topic...
I know that I take antidepressants and antipsychotics not because it's voque to do so, but because life isn't as fun without them.
People misunderstand two things, about what I have to live with daily. Number one is that people take these pills to make themselves happy. No, people take these pills to make themselves regular. It's like Metamucil for the brain.
The other thing is that people believe that psycosis is a disease that causes you to be dangerous to other people, that it really fucks you up.
In fact, psychopathy or sociopathy are the diseases (or whatever) that make you hurt other people. Psychosis only rarely makes people dangerous. However, if you're taking your meds, seeing your doctor, and just generally taking care of yourself, you don't even have to much to worry about psychosis.
Let me just tell you something about psychosis.... It's a drag.
Now, does my so-called insanity make me a creative genius? Probably not, but it does give me a few good "idears" from time to time.
