The shamans, healers of the tribes, are they schizophrenics and why eastern societies have milder schizophrenia with positive voices and delusions?

This was the road I walked before many Psychosis’s ago and in the developed countries you just get medicated. I was convinced of this for a very long time.
It’s true though, I have read that in some poorer countries Sz patients are treated very different from what I have read and have a good prognosis.
I guess from a leftist point of view you can blame the individualism that has segregated communities in order to divide and conquer, so people don’t have massive support networks. These places probably support better socially, as I think the isolation etc at least in my experience doesn’t help and the here are some pills now ■■■■ off approach isn’t really a ‘treatment’

I personally think spirituality in its entirety was made by schizophrenics from Numerology to psychics obsession with what voices have been said look at the Bible it has many clear signs some of its followers were actually schizophrenic. Its beautiful imo interesting.
