Long-term antipsychotic use appears to make people worse rather than better. While the research continues to accumulate, practice does not change. Doctors continue to practice as if psychosis comes from lack of medication. People recover without medications.

In the community mental health center where I have been working, most of the patients lack any sense of self-agency or accountability.
