Schizophrenia severe ongoing

[HeartSpace]

Good morning
I have had schizophrenia for over 30 years now, the past 13 years has been persistant of violating, it so intrusive, whilst on medication, I am kinda medication resistant. Coping strategies seem futile now, and reality checking is kinda stressfull with it so bad. My hole personal privacy feels intruded upon by overwhelming and too many things that are not my thinking. It is like someone is there but there isnt, its just horrible. I do see a pschologist and private pyschiatrist. Mainly just to exist and cope and maintain what I can. Not sure what else, will be trying a specific face to face peer support group today or in a few weeks. It seem pointless unless a new improved medication comes onto the market.? I am informal supports to an elderly mum at moment also. Caring is tough.

I hear you and you are not alone😊

I would encourage anyone with mental health conditions to explore alternative options outside of the mainstream medical (allopathic) system.

Some other credible options that are often overlooked and that I can attest to are:

Functional medicine/nutrition, Metabolic/nutritional psychiatry and Amino acid therapy.

Reach out if you would like further details on any of these.

Al the best 😊

@HeartSpace hey HeartSpace my middle son has schizophrenia which is complicated with autism, epilepsy and moderate intellectual delay.  he is on strong meds and he still hears voices and entities as he calls them. i dont know what the answer is tbh.  i have schizoaffective disorder which is mostly controlled by meds with only the occasional breakthrough hallucination.  apparently there is a new med which is used in the usa and britain it has few side effects but for some reason there has been a 2+ year delay in it being approved here so we are stuck with the ones that give us weight gain etc.  it is a bitch tbh.

a healthy diet, no smoking or booze def helps.
