So his family want him sectioned and pumped full of meds. Poor sod, no wonder he is scared of seeking help. His unwillingness to take anti-psychotic drugs is a rational decision. There is plenty of evidence which shows these drugs do not work, can often make problems worse and come with an endless list of side-effects. I hope he reaches a point where he wants to change his life but drugs and sectioning are not the only option. A more holistic to mental health can be used with great success. Exercise therapy, meditation, CBT, being in nature, finding a purpose, a nourishing anti-inflammatory diet (Schizophrenic brains are inflamed), natural supplements etc will all help significantly. The conventional way of treating mental illness is very much outdated and simply doesn’t work.
