"based on the fear, distrust, and paranoia brought on by their condition."
This is unfair. From my limited understanding, it's not just FUD, the medications do "dull" their wits and have very unpleasant physical side-effects that any person would legitimately not like. It may make them "more normal" to some extent, but at a cost.

- illuminate 14y agoRight, it's certainly exacerbated by the condition. I mentioned the unpleasantness of some of the drugs to help one understand why a person would suddenly stop taking them under a "supposedly rational" state.
