Wow, thanks for posting this article. This is the first article on this I could relate to. I've had 'psychotic episodes' where I heard voices. Hospitalized 4 times and subsequently heavily medicated, with severe side effects.
I always suspected conversing with them was rather therapeutic and did not make me 'crazy'. But the medical community simply wants to rubber stamp you with some long- winded dianosis, medicate you, shut up the voices, and kick u out. It's good to see others have developed alternative treatment solutions. I may have to look into this. Thanks again for posting.
