own the voices in your head

@stem Dunno if it'd change for the better. We've been doing psychiatric drugs for a long time, and some of the world's greatest leaders used drugs to improve their concentration or to relieve stress.

I think he smoked too much pot

Schizophrenia is the best

The thing is I see exactly what schizophrenia is

Also some people need drugs to not literally become unhinged maniacs. Schizos are useful, actually.

Shcizo is for gays

Schizos are great creatives.

Our brain has a filter that separates signal from noise as we see the world and make inferences

Schizophrenia has the filter set WAY too low. So they hear voices, but also their thinking is disordered prone to paranoia and seeing patterns that don’t exist

but there was a time when there was no medication for schizophrenia

I don’t doubt it can help with creativity but it would be hell to live with

how was it handled then?

I insane asylums

but are schizophrenia drugs solving that problem?

I feel bad cuz the drugs for it aren’t perfect my friend who has it needs to up his dose or something. He can ramble about the craziest shit

seems that now we just have a combination of fewer insane asylums and an increasingly large homeless population

Schizophrenia is the last gateway into righteous Catholicism

There are real chemical processes and structural abnormalities in the brain. You can’t just power through them with willpower

Just because the brain is more complex than the heart doesn’t mean it isn’t ultimately physical and able to benefit from medication

ban all medication

Based

CBT is good

@stem I think they are for the most part.

I understand I have cognitive biases

So I try to reframe things and force myself to see things from different perspective

Cock & ball torture?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy

If you hear cbt and think of degeneracy before mental health you might be a degenerate

Nerth do you catastrophize

Just jerk off if you wanna do drugs

or pray

Thats what I do
