Treatment Options

One night, after voluntarily admitting myself to a crisis center, I had multiple therapists tell me that they'd seen medication work miracles. Patients would enter the facility with such serious psychoses that they were completely dysfunctional. After analyzing their behavior, history, and sometimes DNA, they'd prescribe one of the several antipsychotic medications in their arsenal. Patients who couldn't hold a conversation would be casually joking with others just a day or two later. Patients crippled by voices in their head would enjoy mental silence for the first time in decades. Medicine has advanced dramatically over the past decade, and impossible cases could now be cured with an evening pill. Sometimes.
