Lynne, I am told that the mentally ill stop taking the drugs. The reason I am told is the have the delude belief of "I don't need this drug."
It is hard for the sane to wrap their minds around not taking a drug that may help you. I am older than dirt but am fortunate to only take a baby aspirin, BP meds and a statin. I have taken them religiously for years but then I don't have voices telling to stop.
I too am dubious of drugs and do not take anything not required in the short term. I am.one of those people Covid made much more suspicious. As for the mentally ill it is true, in my experience that they will stop taking their meds, take them sporadically, and/or replace or supplement with street drugs. But that is my point. Not taking your meds is not taking care of yourself!!! If you do not take your meds that is going to lead to other aberrant behavior. If that behavior arises to neglect of self to an extre.e then loved one needs to seek a guardianship. If no one does they I'll person will end up under an overpass or in jail or a combination of both. You know that Austin is a haven of ho.elessness. Have you ever noticed how many bodies are recovered with little notice? Those are homeless people literally perishing on the street.
