I have had a friend on antipsychotics, she basically told me that the side effects match the disease. She has since stopped taking the drugs and has focused pretty much entirely on simply "ignoring" her disease. For the most part she seems alright, she is a loner and doesn't leave the house much, but has and is working so she seems alright... Further, one interesting story is that of John Nash [1], he essentially just lives with his disease and managed to suppress it almost entirely.
