text: WARNING: Anyone with an assumed mental condition should first see a competent, non-psychiatric physician to ensure that an undiagnosed, untreated PHYSICAL condition is not causing "psychiatric" symptoms. Such care can save a person from being subjected to the abusive and damaging "treatments" rendered by psychiatrists. \n\nMike\n\n--\n\nPS. I am absolutely disgusted by some of the above replies - how quick so many people are to judge that someone is "ill" or "deluded" by a short Yahoo Answer question. It's absolutely ridiculous. And to the poster that linked to Schizophrenia.com I defy you to find anything more atrocious than this segment: "...if the person who has schizophrenia is over the legal age (typically 19 years old), families or friends -- after trying every possible method to get help for their family member -- may end up lying and just saying that the family member is suicidal, or has attempted to harm others. This satisfies the legal requirements that a person is "a danger to self or others" and can be treated involuntarily."* Sick.\n\n"If you talk to God, you are praying; \nIf God talks to you, you have schizophrenia.\nIf the dead talk to you, you are a spiritualist; \nIf God talks to you, you are a schizophrenic."\n\nThomas S.
