Untreated, Treated, What’s The Difference.

Without Meds, I Tend to Weave Into Endless Spinning Layers of Webs Within Webs.

With Meds, I Dig Deeply into My Endless Spinning Webs Upon Psyche

That’s a good question @schizophrenick

I think with my psychosis it depends on what it contains as different things vary

Off my meds I get voices almost every day. On meds they come about once a week or two. Voice attacks last about 10-15 mins at a time.

Off meds - or on as well - my delusions are still there but the paranoia gets worse off meds

So some of my psychosis lasts 10 mins and some lasts for years

No, she was hit by a car hitchhiking to London
she absconded from 2 years non compliant with meds in hospital
She most likely was treatment resistant for 12 years of deteriorating psychosis
