Has ‘recovered’
In the sense that they are not even taking meds anymore. N no hallucinations anymore. But were diagnosed with psychosis or szc/sza initially
One does wonder
I have a friend who no longer takes meds and has no symptoms.

I don’t take meds but I still have symptoms. Though now they’re much more controlled and I think not as severe as they used to be.
I was extremely symptomatic as a teen. But now it manageable?
Idk why its better now

I suppose you may have better coping mechanisms for stress type things now.
Thats great u can manage without meds, wish I could but it’s too risky for me in particular atm

Hey it’s important to do what you need to function! And since meds help that I think it’s good that you stay on them!
Functioning without meds definitely has difficulties! And a LOT of risk. So I honestly dont reccomend it.
So try to be a little optimistic! Functioning is important and that’s when things can really improve!
