Story of Sophia
I've created this story to show short example of how Schizophrenia can be created like.
Transcription:
So let me tell you this story of 16years old girl named Sophia
Sophia loved to paint images, listen to the music.
She wanted to become professional painter.
Then surprisingly one day she started furiously crying at home.
When parents saw it they tried get to her: What's happening, what's going on.
After crying for next 30minutes she told them she have Anxiety.
(Truth was she was bullied at school for being different, not fitting in within classmates.)
Her parents were supportive and tried their best for her.
So in next days they come with as they supposed was best decision, take her to the doctor.
At the appointment day she was very stressed out and she felt like something is wrong with HER.
Finally doctor calls her out, she comes in with her mother.
Her mother begins with words, my daugher have anexity issues.
Doctor said: Oh thats none of trouble current medicine have progressed a lot and we can treat it with those pills.
"Prescribes Efferox"
Doctor: Those pills will begin to work in two weeks. She should feel much better soon. I recomend therapy.
So as the time passes by pills started to kick in.
Sophia started to feel more relaxed and more impulsive, more talkative.
Classmates started to like her more, bullied to some degree stopped.
Issue is Sophia couldn't know she is on artificially high, she felt like she's feeling more normal.
On next apointment with her mom said: It works!.
Doctor said we can increase dosage twice by now.
(few years later)
Sophia felt quite well over this time, she became student. But anxiety started recently to spike up
Now as she is already 18years old she went to psychiatrist on her own, telling about those issues.
Doctor said: We need to add some anti-anxiety meds
"He Prescribes Xanax 0.5mg once per day"
Sophia: Oh this is what I needed, it feels so good.
This continues for one year. Since she became adult she drinks alcohol as well
Meanwhile she started to behaving more and more against her own personality type.
Doing things she will regret forever in her head.
I need to take more of this pills, she begins taking 1mg of Xanax daily.
Then one day she realizes something isn't quite right, maybe its because of those pills?
She didn't know about withdrawal symptoms, she stopped taking those pills right away.
Over next weeks she felt terrible, like having flu, having those brain zaps all over her body.
And she began to feel suspicious, maybe people are stalking her, laughing at her all this time since 14
She deleted her Facebook account, closed all other online account, she couldn't sleep.
Next morning she woke up with big heart rate. Sophia: They are trying to kill me!
This continued for whole next week.
She coudnt stand it anymore, she coudnt study, she coudnt to anything being in fight or flight mode
She cut her wrists. Parents called an ambulance.
This ended up at psychiatric hospital.
After one week of feeding her with antipsychotic meds risperidone there is an official diagnoze: SCHIZOPHRENIA
Sophia went out of mental hospital, she is devastated here whole life is ruined by diagnosis.
She wanted to stop her meds right away out of hospital but parents convinced her its for her own good.
So she continued taking risperidone, she started gaining 5kg per month. By end of year she was 40kg overweight.
Every month she was becoming more empty, apathetic.
Old passions like drawing didn't feel right anymore, she couldn't be creative.
This is where this story ends I cannot predict what happens to Sophia next, this is how children their parents and adults are being exploited by psychiatrists.
Sophia had drug induced psychosis, not Schizophrenia
Help people like Sophia realizing that they've been victims of evil industry.
