My 37 year old son has been in a psychiatric hospital 3 months, lost 65 pounds and they are talking about getting him ELectric shock treatment. I wish my son would agree to just take clozapine because it worked well for him. It’s so hard to know how to help him.

I'm autistic. I get "better" when I mask who I am. I think mentally ill people are just different. I think schizohrenics see in a different reality, and are not deloded. I think psychiatry is a scam, but people don't listen to me because I am autistic, and autistic people don't matter.

​​​​​@@SkoopyghostHey, I think I could get a diagnosis of autism but I choose not to label myself and let others label me too. It's just a label, not who you really are. I learnt that people identify with these psychiatric labels just because they align with how they feel or they provide comfortable narrative/explanations/way of seem themselves for their emotional suffering, but the diagnosis is not based in actual medical facts so it's not a real diagnosis, just social constructs. I'm not saying you don't have difficulties in your life, but that you can improve even if it requires hard hard work and a lot of time. Just because you feel that you are not like the rest of people doesn't mean you are not. You are normal, like everyone else.

@@Gonzo-GT My advice is to get a diagnosis if you're self-employed, or at least well educated. I just got the good music ear, and the creativity. I'm the starving artist right now. You have to keep in mind that you face discrimination if you have the diagnoses of ASD. I agree with your comment though.

@@Skoopyghost If you know yourself, why label yourself with a psychiatric disorder? You don't need that.

[@Skoopyghost]

@@Gonzo-GT I don't disagree.

Please tell me who was the energy healer? I have tried many but can't get the depression off.
