I've been diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder when I was in my early twenties.

I've had several full blown psychotic episodes and been hospitalised several times.

Fortunately there was one medication - Amisulpride - that kept me stable enough to be able to have a professional career, though not without a lot of struggling and sacrifice.

I know what psychosis is and honestly, this avatar therapy feels a bit like bullshit to me.

When in psychosis, you are not listening to your voices - you are your voices and they can command you to do things you do not want to do. You are not in control of you consciousness.

There is hope though. A revolution in mental illnessis going on - check the metabolic mind site for more info - https://metabolicmind.org

I talk about my experience in my blog - https://www.feelingbuggy.com/p/finding-hope-after-decades-of...

Many other people have substantially improved because of metabolic therapy and there are dozens of random control trials going on with very promising early results.

There are ever more cases of successful treatment via metabolic therapy

Under the risk of being unpopular, it's my responsibility to let people know about this treatment option and bring hope to those who suffer from this terrible illness.
