Take a look at futurism.com. It is crazy how fast technology is progressing and society changing.
That will mean a quick cure for us.

Amen to that, brother.
lets all hope for that 
Not to be a Debbie downer @Erez_Shmerling, but what in that publication leads you to believe this? I want nothing more than to not have to worry about my next psychotic break, but do you really think they have the tech to fix our brains?
I don’t think they (society) gives a rats ass personally. It’s like they need crazy people out there so that they can say “that’s crazy”. Can you imagine if there was no more psychosis?
People who used the term “crazy” would actually be referring to serial killers and pedophiles, the real crazies.
Look if you looked there Mark Zuckerberg has an initiative to cure ALL DISEASES.
And also neural laces might cure us

I just hope they’re ethical with all these new emerging technologies that seem to be partially hidden from us. I’d like my harassing voices to take a hike.

What about all our brain damage how is it going to reverse that
I just read that, but did not see anything regarding “neural laces”. Can you tell me where that is?
It sounds like something my doctor mentioned where we would sleep with a mesh hat on or something futuristic like that. It doesn’t sound like a cure to me but it does sound better than taking antipsychotics
It should at least solve our cognitive problems.
Look Gorilla. The world is progressing very quickly. You can do gene editing you can do whatever you ever dreamed of.
and SOON.

I don’t know. Maybe someday you will write on here “I told you so”. But personally I think it’s all a bunch of ■■■■■■■■! I’ve been unwell for15 years now with recurring psychotic breaks. I’m almost 40 years old.
Maybe I’ll get to lie on my death bed in my 70s or 80s while in my right mind and experience death like a man. Unfortunately all of my family will have been long gone and no one will be able to witness my recovery. The shame that’s been done to me can never be undone with neural lace or anything that quack Elon musk dreams up from his sauna in Northern California
I’ll send you a Christmas card from my yacht in the Carribean, if they cure our psychosis.
You should not bear grudge. I got a lot of abuse, and I don’t give a damn.
And if you get cured at 70, you should say HOW GOOD. NOW I CAN LIVE instead of looking back in agony.

giving a man his mind back should not be as hard as colonizing Mars I agree. But let’s hope that the time frame is within our grasp. I’ve got a lot that I would like to do with my life and being psychotic is not compatible.
I also hope to be cured while young. (I understand your worry).
I have 2 points:
- try to do as much as you can now.
- It is good to know that at some point this disease will be cure.
That will close the circle for hundreds of millions(perhaps billions) who had that disease in history. - The world is all the time going forward. The quality of life, the intelligence everything is going to improve.
People are going to have infinite leisure time to do whatever they like.
For me it’s a great thought regardless of what happens to me.
I’ve read a lot on the internet since I’ve become ill.
Back in 2001. I am overwhelmed with the advances that they have made in science and technology, even the Internet is more efficient and full of information.
But, I have yet to see any of these scientific advances translate into new treatments for mental illness. I’m waiting for new drugs to end up at my fingertips in the pharmacy. I am waiting for the day that I walk into my doctors office and she tells me, we have just come out with this!
It’s only been 70 years since the advent of antipsychotics. Many older people that I know have said that we have come so far since then.
I can’t wait for us to go father. I would be out living my life.
The advances that will be made, I bet on a quick cure.
My instincts tell me that a quick cure is on the cards.
You can meanwhile feel AS IF you are healthy.
I am not exactly doing what I want, but I already enjoy myself a great deal.
You can enjoy yourself as well.
I want to be a chess master, but what can I do?
I can still enjoy myself. Even with the illness.It is true of all of us.
Of course it is not satisfactory but definitely happy is better than grumpy.

Well, I appreciate your optimism. Let’s hope your right. I’ve seen that your country has made some significant advances in this area. I’ve always wanted to visit there. Maybe they will be the ones to find it.
I would not be suprised
I’m absolutely miserable. The medication helps but the side effects are too much for me. I would function much better if they were to come out with a less side effect medication that took care of positive symptoms. Oh yea, and I feel angry that I got this disease. It’s pretty rare. Most people don’t have it and it robs us of our dignity.
Our most precious asset our minds have been stolen from us. I used to use my mind for education. I wanted to become a lawyer or a doctor, even a teacher. Now I lay around the house, I do small tasks to feel like I’ve accomplished something. I am collecting disability like a homeless person.
My advice: always be positive. If the medication causes side effects, try changing medications or reducing dosage.
(Going off meds is a possibility, but one that the moderators of the forum don’t approve. So I’m mentioning
it as well in a slippery way).
