So the only way to cure delusions is to block your receptors so you cannot feel any pleasure from accomplishing anything and can't form thoughts because your reward system is not activsted?
It's unpleasant for sure, but compared to some of the horrendous "treatments" of the past, at least it's not as permanent as a lobotomy.
The sad thing is, in our society, what do you propose be done to manage a person who is disconnected from reality and about to harm themselves or others, that does not rspond to being "talked down"/deescalated? Physical restraints can cause rhabdomyolysis and other nasty conditions. Shooting them dead or beating them unconcious is inhumane. There's really no happy medium.
That's good. You know what? I dont belive in pychosis.
In some cultures, schizophrenic hallucinations present as
positive influences in the life of people. The voices are generally understood to be either gods, spirits, or the dead and are not viewed in a negative light. It is even considered as a cause of magic, or a blessing from beyond. Some people even report being pleased that they have someone to talk to who is around all the time. (More reading:

It's also a theory that explains why shamans exist and why they are associated with what they do. Schizophrenia is hereditary, and similarly children of shamans are much more likely to follow in their parents' foot steps. I can see how a select few people that experience voices or presences nobody else can explain could be viewed as mystical rather than threatening.
Food for thought. If you do experience such things, I encourage you to do whatever that is within the bounds of reason and good taste to work with such forces. Best case, you can learn to live with less disruption. Worst case you cross that ide off and try something esle.
