My brother has schizophrenia, he refuses to visit a doctor so I became the "doctor", I choose his meds, manage the doses or add new meds for managing his symptoms.
>>214934295Plot twist: your brother is the result of your schizophrenia
>>214934295Give him hrt
How can you get self prescribed medications if you are not a medic?
>>214934295
>>214934408in Türkiye you can buy antipsychotics and antidepressants from pharmacies without a prescription
>>214934501Wtf
>>214934501Damn that's pretty... weird...What do you give him, out of curiosity? How can you know if you give him the right meds if he refuses treatment?
>>214934839He refused the meds in the past and became psychotic several times, now even tho he doesn't accept the title, he accepts that there is something wrong with him and without meds he can enter psychosis again. So i give abilify for psychosis, mirtazapine for his depression-sleep and dideral for the preventing the side effects of the meds.>how can you knowInternet, pudmed and chatgpt help a lot. Other than that I've realized psychiatrists have no idea what they are doing during my learning time. Every patient is different, one med works for someone and it doesn't for another person. There is actually 10 different antipsychotics in the market and they try every one of them until it works. For this shitty job they get paid a lot actually.
>>214934295Based.
>>214934295Does he trust you? If he gets paranoid he might start to puke the meds or not take them at all
>>214934295You could just sell his pills and give him tik taks.
I mean if he says anything just tell people he's schizophrenic. Who are they going to believe.
consult a real doctor in your brother behalf and act as a proxy. sounds reasonable within the circunstances
>>214935378Yea. I actually spend a lot of time for researching. And he is not "mad" or anything apart from his psychotic episodes which he only enters if he doesn't take his meds. He goes to work everyday.
>>214935128Does he drink or smoke?
>>214935128From one schizo to another, pass the word that it's okay to be schizo and you can even be proud of it. It's not okay to be mentally "sane" in 2025, too many retards believe their shit doesn't stink.I trust you're doing things right because it's literally the protocol I'm following, minus ChatGPT of course because I'm seeing a good therapist (but a good one). I even tried Abilify but it gave me brain zaps and did nothing at all other than wreck me, so now I'm taking carprazine to be active and well during the day and depakine for the sleep tranquility.
>>214935492I'm sure he is glad he can count on you, keep up the good work
>>214934295youre a good brother, anon
>>214934363>Shyamalanzadeh
>>214935528no>>214935602>>214935617thanks>>214935534normie people are ignorant about the topic so i guess that's why he tries to avoid from the stigma. can't blame him.
>>214935534>it's okay to be schizo and you can even be proudSoon enough we will be able to detect this kind of defect mive genes in foetuses and make sure none of your ilk are ever born again
>>214934394this
>>214934295kek i hope you're not serious. Bro just needs to smoke
Can random Turks just write scrips for each other??? What a country
>>214934295Does phonk music sigma patrick bateman tiktok edit tuff trollface music play every time he enters the room?
>>214936169Not sure why this is so funny to me
>>214934363kek
>>214936055Who says it's a defect? The patient says it's a defect because it causes them pain and anguish, but from a sane mind's perspective... How do you know the schizophrenic isn't experiencing reality and you aren't delusional?
>>214939059Because the schizophrenic see things that don't exist
>>214934428All according to the plan
>>214939163I asked "who" and "how", didn't expect a "because". But let's pull on the devil's tail: in the mind of the schizo it exists. It comes from somewhere, it can't possibly be 'ex nihilo', there's no such thing in body and spirit.
>>214934295>My brother has schizophrenia, he refuses to visit a doctorI also refuse to visit a doctor, but if he literally has schizophrenia (i.e. hearing voices, seeing things) that needs treatment with gentle drugs.
>>214939596>picI never got around to reading this, but it's a little strangeit seems to me paranoïa and schizophrenia tend to be convergent, not divergent
>>214939596>comes from somewhere, it can't possibly be 'ex nihilo'The wires in your brain are fucked up and it's shortcircuiting. Sorry bro you aren't speaking to the angels
>>214939653There's positive (hallucinations, delusions, behaviour) and negative (paranoia, lazyness, loss of social abilities). You may have one, the other, or both. But the drugs for schizophrenia are rarely if ever "hard". Personally I take the minimum dose of a soft antipsychotic and an antiepileptic, and a slight stimulant, that do wonders. No need for electroshocks or a straightjacket usually.>>214939773Yeah I reckon, it's taken from the first book but it's lacking in information, it's not a good graph but I assume they didn't make it a final drawing.Actually on top of the pyramid there should be "the empty body". On the side of paranoia it is the negative symptoms and on the side of schizophrenia it is the positive symptoms (it's how they understood the illness back then), and the downards arrows are "the cancerous body".>>214939899That's not how it goes. There are no wires in the brain, it's neurons. There are no angels but, really, who are we speaking to then? If we're speaking at all, personally I never talked with the angels I was haunted by ghosts.
>>214934394You joke but that unironically probably would work. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8048738/
>>214934501>>214934839>>214934780In this shithole you can buy without a prescription antidepressants, antipsychotics, antibiotics and drugs like pregabalin, gabapentin and baclofen which the last three definitely have recreational properties when abused The funny thing is that the boxes themselves write that they need a prescription but due to some weird loophole you can get them totally legally no questions asked without one
>>214934295You're doing the right thing
