Noncompliance is a huge problem with schizophrenia. I'm not sure why you'd think otherwise. Something around 50% of medicated schizophrenics go off their meds. Google <schizophrenia noncompliance>.
- mirimir 9y agoWell, maybe ~50% of medicated schizophrenics consider the side effects to be worse than the disorder. Keeping crazies drugged so they don't bother their caregivers is pretty far down the slope, in my opinion.
- PhasmaFelis 9y agoIs that really the best reason you can think of to treat schizophrenia? I'd think "so they don't harm themselves or others" might rate a bit higher, just for one example.
- mirimir 9y agoWell, harming themselves is pretty much OK. Harming others isn't OK, of course. But drugging people isn't an acceptable solution. It's prone to overuse and abuse.
- PhasmaFelis 9y ago> Well, harming themselves is pretty much OK. Oh. You're trolling. Sorry for wasting my time.
- mirimir 9y agoI am not trolling! I stand firmly for the non-aggression principle. There's no violence against others in self-harm and suicide. And unrequested intervention is aggression.
