@t_xeplionhell and
@apsucks I just have to chime in here. Psychosis is very much a real phenomenon, as are delusions and hallucinations. There is a LOT of scientific evidence that shows that psychosis and delusions are caused by an over-abundance of dopamine in the mesolimbic region and the hippocampus in the brain.
I agree that sometimes psychosis can lead to beautiful things, artwork, new ideas, creative outlets, beautiful poetry and song lyrics etc.
But psychosis, delusions and hallucinations can also be very dangerous and have a very negative impact on the person's life.
This is why antipsychotics exist.
I am NOT necessarily pro-antipsychotics, but they do have their place in medicine for very extreme cases where the patient is in very real danger of hurting themselves and/or others.
Anyone who reads these invega threads knows that antipsychotics are overused and misused in psychiatry and it is something that needs to be addressed.
But....psychosis, hallucinations and delusions definitely exist, and in some cases they are definitely a bad thing.
