In reply to when to condsider antipsychotics, posted by jesus on February 17, 2003, at 22:23:15
Hi Jesus,
It sounds like you are suffering psychotic symptoms. These can be part of depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and some other organic conditions. I have schizophrenia and the antipsychotics work very well for my psychotic symptoms. I strongly recommend trying an antipsychotic. Only when you are better can you truly understand the severity of this sort of illness. It is severe, and it requires agressive treatment.
It is not strange to have schizophrenia and not have a family history of it. In fact, most people who have schizophrenia do not have a family history of schizophrenia. I hope this helps.
