He really sounds like he needs to see a psychiatrist. Medication is in general a lot more pleasant than psychosis. Is it ideal? No. I dont think you will see a lot of people walling down the street cheering that they get to take X medication for the rest of their lives... but imwhen the alternative is being out of your mind terrified (which he probably is- if its bad for you its probably 5 times worse for him- listen to how terrifying his thoughts must be for him! Constantly being afraid that people are out to hurt you- its like being stuck in a waking nightmare with no escape and everyonea- even the ones you love- are dismissing concerns that are very very real to you- its terrifying and horrible and very very isolating)

Medication is not evil. Medication helps lots of people “wake up” from something thats probably the scariest thing they have ever experienced in their entire life.

Please talk to someone about it. No one is better than someone else for not taking medication if they need it, no one is worse. And the shame around medication is silly when its between that and having someone you love potentially suffering in agony.

Maybe this is too heavy handed but seriously, psychosis is absolutely horrific and it general doesnt get better on its own. And even if it does- it comes back again and again worse each time. So please, talk to someone
