there is no scientific evidence that people who have been diagnosed have a “chemical imbalance”. You don’t have a chemical problem intil they give you drugs. then maybe there is a chemical imbalance. The “chemical imbalance” theory is make believe and a myth. They don’t even know what the normal condition of the brain is let alone what an abnormal brain looks like. There is some assumption that if your having some sort of spiritual problem there is something wrong with your physical brain. hogwash, there is nothing physically wrong with anybody until they give them drugs.
Something else happened to me that proves that there are forces like demons attacking us. One day I was sitting in my basement watching tv. And I was fighting the voices. And they said “you are going to lose your sex drive” and I said believing that they were demons “aww don’t worry about it he is just trying to make you worry”. Well like a week or two later I lost my sex drive. I still don’t have it to this day. I’m praying that I’ll get it back.
If you don’t believe me I went to the urologist and they tested my testosterone and the test said I had low testosterone. I remember when it happened. It was like night and day. I just lost all my drive and it felt like before you go through puberty just no drive. The urologist tried to help by prescribing me testosterone gel. You had to rub it under you arm pits. I went back to the doctor and the test result were that my testosterone went up a good amount but I didn’t see any change in my mind. I went up in my bloodstream but it just didn’t do anything so I stopped taking the gel.
Couldn’t of said it any better.
I totally agree with you. All the brain deformities and chemical imbalace “proofs” are done on schizophrenics who have taken antipsychotics. They never think that it is the antipsychotic that has done the damage.
Wave, I agree. I think there is definitely a spiritual side to what I am going through, which has been labeled “schizophrenia” (schizoaffective disorder, now). I take medication, and the medication does help, but I don’t think it’s the only answer or the only way to address schizophrenia.
I have also come to realize that I do have delusional thoughts, sometimes. But, that doesn’t mean that my entire experience has been delusional.
So, there’s kind of an overlap I’ve noticed between what could be termed as schizophrenic experiences or thoughts, and other experiences that were not delusional or hallucinatory. The tough part has been recognizing the difference.
Maybe when I had a spiritual experience, it broke my mind. Maybe the voices I heard were real, and everything that has happened after was just me trying to deal with what I had experienced.
But I know what I experienced. It’s disappointing and a shame when the people we go to for help tell us our experience is illness (what if it’s not, you know?).
