-Shamanic experience is the same experience as Psychosis. It's just a different interpretation. People have been led to believe that they are ill and need psychiatric medicines (which cause brain damage) and forced against their will into psychiatric care. This is a crime against humanity and needs to be stopped. I found myself on psychiatric drugs which have caused me to develop tourettes symptoms and agitation (due to withdrawal). Which I had to recover on by going back on these drugs.

-My risk of stroke and heart attack is doubled and my frontal lobe is shrinking. I'm not saying the drugs don't help, it's that they don't know how they work (this is a fact) and there are too many dangers.

-Possibly there are other dimensions (which leak into our reality and cause hallucinations). This is a my explanation of "Psychotic" disorders.

-Many symptoms of schizophrenia are just odd behaviors that need to be tolerated by people rather than being "cured" by doctors. Also the prisons that are psychiatric "wards" need to be shut down and replaced by drop in centers.

-The worse thing of all is many "schizophrenics" have been conned into thinking they need treatment:

"In the eighteenth century, madness came to be seen as the reverse of Reason, and, finally, in the nineteenth century as mental illness."
"Foucault also argues that madness was silenced by Reason, losing its power to signify the limits of social order and to point to the truth."
"In Foucault's view, this treatment [psychiatric treatments] amounted to repeated brutality until the pattern of judgment and punishment was internalized by the patient."
