Schizos of /sci/, I unironically need your advice
>relative of mine goes psychotic (paranoid fears)
>hospital
>antipsychotics, antidepressants, diazepam
>lots of actual mad fucks around shouting and banging doors confirming his danger fears
>fast forward 2 weeks
>still psychotic as the first day
>gets dosed up
What probably will happen from now
>they will dose up until he is wrecked enough not to complain
>they will try combinations until they believe some combo of typical+atypical works
>he just cures himself without meds having working at all

I'm shocked that this is the current state of psychiatry. How does one get out of this shitshow? These meds also have serious side effects, such as diabetes, hearth issues, thrombosis, EPS, etc.
