In reply to Lou, what you perceive is in your own mind, posted by Phil on October 24, 2012, at 16:48:26
Before my relative was put on medications, she sometimes had religious delusions of prophecy. She *was* a less angry prophet than Lou, I'll grant you that. I don't recall her accusing anyone of things like Lou does.
I remember one incident when I was little when she scared the fire out of me. She spoke in a voice that didn't seem like hers at all. It was much, much deeper. Even though everyone tried to explain delusions to me, I spent the entire day worrying that her prophecy would come true. It didn't of course.
Fortunately she decided eventually to remain on medications even outside institutions.
Medications have side effects. Not taking medications has side effects too.
