Defeating the Voices -

Schizophrenics live in constant fear of the voices and are being bullied by them throughout sufferers lives. What if it were possible to break the cycle.

In this new approach to schizophrenia I start with a description of the early (Euphoric) stage when delusions are first laid down. I go on to describe some symptoms sufferers may encounter and I will describe the knowledge they need and practical ways off combating problems. I outline a way out of the nightmare with just two things - a type of new medication and a method of taming the voices that will mean you no longer fear them again.

This method, so far, is untested and has only been tried once, by me. I stumbled across it during my last episode of schizophrenia. It may not work for newly diagnosed sufferers or it might. There is a drug, I believe, a wonderdrug in small doses. When I was on quite a high dose, it gave me the motivation, energy and commitment to keep pushing, where I knew not.I stuck to the term T.D.C. (Trust, Delight, Commit.) In God that is. After the episode I realised I had taken on the voices and beaten them. I had succeded in taming them. Their last utterance to try to stay in control of me was to command me to kill. I was, however, able to see the voices for what they are, my imagination.

The first part of my approach is to prepare sufferers to begin their journey to recovery by helping them through some common difficulties. The second part is an explanation of the effects of an antipsychotic (Which is unique in its effects) medication for which I am not qualified to prescribe.

The two parts together will enable sufferers to combat the bullying nature of the voices.
