It’s a tad bit of a bore after a while. You get good at navigating the colours only to end up completely drained and empty in the end.

It sounds like something I personally would want help with, but I guess only you can ultimately decide that.

@rat_spit

Yep. There’s that. There’s also “Satan’s Army” if you’re interested.

I doubt there’s a branch in my street.

The rainbow is a spectrum of electromagnetic radiation that originates from the sun.

Well the Visible Light Spectrum is a subset of the Electromagnetic Spectrum. This is the only part of the EM Spectrum that humans can actually see with the naked eye. The prismatic effect is caused by refraction, when light passes through mediums of different densities. Rainbows form when light bends as it passes through water droplets. That bending is called refraction. As sunlight moves from the air and into the water droplet, all of the separate colours of the light bend in a slightly different way, thereby creating rainbows.

Though what this has to do with my heart being a pump made of muscle isn’t clear, or what your metaphor about the colour of one’s heart, has to do with the objective medical evidence; that indicates schizophrenics are far more likely to experience hallucinations, and far less likely to be able to differentiate between them and reality?

Think of it a little like those with type 1 diabetes being unable to maintain their blood sugar levels, it would be dangerous for them to stop taking regular insulin injections, no matter how they felt about the side effects.

@Sheldon

evidence demonstrates about schizophrenia, and the much higher likelihood of hallucinations, and the reduced ability to differentiate between them and reality.

People with allergies are more likely to sneeze.

Deflection using irrelevant non sequiturs, ignoring the objective evidence won’t make it go away.

I take medication and not for a second would I tell a person suffering from psychosis that anything less is suitable.

Good, it is important, and despite some of the things you’re saying here, your posts at least seem a little more lucid (on the whole), and a lot less agitated than in previous debates.

@Whitefire13

Absolutely no clue what you are rambling on about.

It’s hard to gauge how serious he is being as well. Anyway I found this:

Depot medication should be considered for all schizophrenia patients, as nonadherence is high among individuals thus diagnosed, as is the chance of relapse. CBT can be applied as an augmentation to antipsychotic medication for all psychotic patients who experience hallucinations.

A depot injection is a slow-release form of medication . The injection uses a liquid that releases the medication slowly, so it lasts a lot longer.

I had coffee with a friend this morning, who’s a consultant and professor, I mentioned this debate in passing as I thought he’d find it amusing, and he smiled and said how difficult it can be to convince people with schizophrenia to adhere to a prescribed medication regimen.
