Is there such a thing as the 'stress treatment?'
When I am really stressed I get paranoid delusions. When I was really really stressed I also started to spin my hat without realizing it. When I was put on AP while under stress, I started doing weird stuff like that even more - picking things up without realizing it, not looking people in the face, even worse paranoia ( egocentric ). Is there any relation between dopamine and hiding these sorts of behaviours.
IN FACT, in the hospital when I did the weird stuff under this spell the nurses and doctors kept trying to shock me out of it.
Whenever I exhibited these weird behvaiours I would just get a higher dose of AP too.. but I think the doc knew I was going to go off it anyway. I'm not sure if it was to artificially put stress on me.
Would this make be better or worse? I mean if I had some sort of condition where stress would be bad for it what would be the point in doing what they did?
