How? Can you show me where you got that? Since, like I said, even OFF the medication, I rarely have any positive symptoms nowadays aside from disorganized thinking and speech, but even now none of them are as prevalent as they were 2 years ago, or even slightly debilitating.
Exactly. Disorganised thinking is what leads someone to think they don’t need meds, when it’s possible they do. I would talk to a doctor about weather or not you should be taking them.
Do you... Do you even know what disorganized thinking and speech means? I mean things like clanging. Thought blocking. Derailment. Flight of ideas. Those. And, AGAIN, it isn't debilitating. Do you think I'm talking about delusions? Because I have no clue what you're thinking of and talking and how THAT could make me think I don't need meds.
I've talked to my doctors. They know I'm not on any medication. You think I stopped taking them cold turkey? It sounds like you're making assumptions. You shouldn't do that, by the way.
In any case, don't tell me what I should and shouldn't do regarding my medication and treatment in general, especially when you don't know what you're talking about or anything about me and my recovery. And ESPECIALLY when I didn't ask. All I asked is that if it was normal, not any of that.
You think thought blocking, derailment and flight of ideas can’t be extremely debilitating to someone? You think doctors don’t have trouble getting many people with schizophrenic or bipolar symptoms to take their meds regularly?
That's not even what I said, so calm down there, bud.
It's not debilitating to ME, which is clearly what I meant. I'm still able to function really well. It can be debilitating to others, I never said it couldn't. Try again later. Also, I asked HOW disorganized thinking could cause someone to think they don't need their meds, not if it can be debilitating. I'm still waiting on that answer.
I never said that doctors don't have trouble getting people with psychosis or bipolar symptoms to take their meds. Show me where exactly I said that. And I don't even have bipolar symptoms. I have the depressive type. Again, you're assuming.
You told me to talk to a doctor. I told you I did, and THAT'S WHY I'M NOT ON MEDICATION. BECAUSE I TALKED TO MY PSYCHIATRIST ABOUT IT. Nobody said anything about doctors having trouble getting people with those symptoms to take their meds, except you just now. Try again later, too.
Ok. I would stop making assumptions.
Alright. But, I still don't understand how disorganized thinking alone can CAUSE someone to think they don't need meds.
Also. One, no. You can shut your mouth. Two, I already explained this in the "wall of text" you replied to, but I'll explain it again. My psychiatrist was the one who said it was alright for me to stop taking them. Gradually, of course. That's why I'm not on any meds.
IIN that I don't need medication for schizoaffective disorder?

I am calm, it’s more akin to sarcasm. What I’m saying is fairly common knowledge.
So shut yo mouth and go to a doctor instead of writing walls of text.
