While I am excited that alternative I've treatment options are being explored for depression and PTSD I wonder if we will ever find alternatives for diseases like schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. I have schizoaffective disorder myself and while I haven't hit any bad side effects from my antipsychotics yet I do worry about diabetes and tardive dyskinesia a lot. Of course I expect these alternative treatments to carry their own risks, but I am hopeful we can find treatments with fewer.
- jetti 8y agoAs somebody who also has schizoaffective disorder, I am hopeful for the day that there are alternative treatment to the anti-psychotics. I actually cycle my meds because dealing with how tired I get from the meds is worse to me than dealing with the symptoms. The symptoms aren't there all the time but the tiredness and fatigue are.
