I've taken antipsychotics fairly consistently for the past 9 years.
They lessen hallucinations and delusions. They lessen emotional processing but you still have emotions. They lessen proactiveness. They separate thought from qualia it represents. They're bad for your body so they're bad for your brain. They drain your natural energy and alter circadian rhythm. Sleep becomes an unnatural byproduct of medicine consumption. It is unwholesome and scheduled/forced sleep. When you can't process emotions you don't know are present without mindfulness your heartrate increases. It tunes out the world around you, and you ignore people better. You stop addressing threats and use bad code/deprecated customs. You fall worse into dementia praecox. You have to solve for not thinking, so you can stream thoughts to do so.
Schizophrenia is 'the emptiness we long to feel inside.' It's a coping mechanism for suffering of detachment. Initially there was the detachment. Then there's the thought stopping, event unprocessing, bad memory, cognitive deficit, personality divorce, poor working memory and chronology. There is no reflection, detachment from performance. Schizophrenics have low IQ's, because they neglect it and are satisfied with nothing/somatic separation. Dopamine is high in complexity. Somatic separation means an initial high mindfulness, and then a split and turning away from something that normally makes one well. This allows for time to daydream and lose attention. It also means those in psychosis will dissociate.
For acute psychosis antipsychotics are a must. However, they're a crutch, and the problem doesn't get better without better therapy. Only we can transition to a better state of mind with help and a recollection of good healthy behaviors and outlooks. Interacting with the world is part of keeping your brain and body young and intelligent.
