Changes in mental status happen to everyone. A person who hallucinates is suffering from a form of brain damage whether it be caused by recreational drugs, longterm sleep deprivation, lack of oxygen ,prescription medications
(which include those used in Psychiatry),poor nutrition, head traumas or other medical disease and sadly often misdiagnosed which doesn't help their outcome due to the Stigma. As with any illness vigilance and Compassion are paramount to anyone's recovery .
Recovery from schizophrenia is real,living with our hallucinations and voices can become positive once we understand to cope with the dark side of schizophrenia.I was diagnosed in 1996.I have been medication free for 6 years with lots of hard work and the ability of self understanding that all schizophrenics think differently and see things differently to others does not mean it needs medication as a treatment unless violence is the issue will send some video reprocess hope you approve some tnx
Recovery from schizophrenia is possible. I myself am another example of this possibility: I recovered in North-Italy with the help of several years of a good psychodynamic psychotherapy.
One can-if interested-read about my recovery also in my autobiographic book ('Healing from schizophrenia. A personal account.' of Lia Govers) available on Amazon.com since a month.

My partner is paranoid schizophrenia yes therapy does help but thats not all that helps. You need to take your medication as well as be aware of the problem in order to have a long and healthy life on the road to recovery. You cant abuse drugs or alcohol either it only makes the symptoms of schizophrenia a lot worse. I know if my partner did not take her medication she would not recovered as far as she has.
Dear Sir/Madam,My Very very sincere and humble request...Please my neace of schizoprenia from childhood.He was normal up to age of 13yrs but she is 26yrs but we are helpless.Please help help me to cure100percent---sweetsingersmailbox@gmail.com
Yes having a waking life nightmare is what it is like and it is made worse when your real life is falling to pieces. I can remember many delusions but some things I cant fully recall and some things I will never talk about because it would be like explaining a nightmare. I am a recovered schizophrenic I recovered through supportive outreach and personally I think my behavior modification and faceing my fears helped more than medication. I am embarressed about my delusions they were irrational.
@DbozenD Ive grown up for a start im now 26 and it took me a long time to build up my confidence again with socialising but it has changed me I still get racing thoughts but no more delusions my schizophrenia was triggered by drug abuse and life stresses and started in my late teens. Im still the same person but before my illness im a nice guy after my illness im still the same guy and probably a better person for having survived schizophrenia. Heres hoping my remission last forever.
I just watched this and found it so moving- brilliant to hear from people who have recovered and therapists who have worked with them (and others) I feel really supported and inspired professionally and personally watching this- big thanks for posting it Daniel.
@dmackler58 It would be dangerously naive to think that a weekly session of psychotherapy for a copuple of years can undo the damage that has been done over many years of exposure to a stressful psychological environment. The only kind of psychotherapy that could work would be the therapist living together with the sufferer and slowly make him understand that he is loved and no longer needs those "defence mechanisms".
@gajdacs1 part 1: Well, in general I agree with your sentiments, except there there are many cases of people who have recovered from that thing that gets labeled as schizophrenia with weekly therapy for less than a few years, and many also without any weekly therapy at all! In other cases it certainly might, however, be naive to think that a person could get well with no therapy at all, or at least no really intensive psychological or psychosocial help.
@dmackler58 Part 2: Arieti, 1976, page 151: "Five months after the beginning of treatment, arrangements were made for Sally to live with a social worker, who would devote herself entirely to the patient" ... after a while ..."a dramatic change occurred in the condition of the patient. For the first time since the beginning of the illness, she started to do things by herself." After a while Sally felt that the social worker was making too many demands on her, and returned to her parents (tbc)
@gajdacs1 part 2: as to the idea of the therapist needing to LIVE with the person diagnosed, well...i don't agree with that. i've seen several people get well through therapy alone (with me), and none of them lived with me.
@dmackler58 When I mentioned living with the therapist, that was just a spontaneous idea. At the moment I am rereading the Interpretation of Schizophrenia by Arieti, and found in one of the numerous case histories described therein an example for treatment strategy. The important difference, however, is that it is not necessarily the therapist who lives with the patient. See citation in separate comment.
@dmackler58 Part 3: Page 152: At home with her parents and husband "it was obvious that Sally was retrogessing.... it was then arranged that a...woman psychologist would visit her in her parents' home every weekday, from early in the morning until half past five... In the company of this psychologist, Sally continued to improve and was able to fulfill bigger and bigger roles." By the way, Sally had symptoms of catatonic schizophrenia.
@dmackler58 Removing the troubled person (suffering from delusions or hallucinations) was also tested by the SOTERIA "experiment". The idea was that young people diagnosed with Schizopherenia can "get over" this "altered state of consciousness" with the help of living in a "social environment where they were listened to and understood." This was achieved largely without the use of medicaments. My point is that time is a crucial factor in healing.
It's in my favourite.
