Here is an interesting article. It takes a different angle than most literature. I'm not sure if I agree to it all but it definitely makes a person think. It states that there is lot more to schizophrenia than just the biological model. Some people even recover without medication.
If you are open to different ideas about schizophrenia give it a read.
Here is the link to the article.

Converting the World
I have done lots of research on many different topics and subjects. Mental illness, addiction, alcoholism, different types of philosophy, religions, science, psychology. There is one thing I have noticed. Everyone is out to convert everyone else to what they believe. It doesn't matter who they are, what they believe or what organization they are advocating for, they are out to convert everyone else to their position. Why?
I must confess there was a time in my life when I was guilty of the same thing. Why do I need to convert everyone else to my position on different things in life? Why does it matter? If I am satisfied with what I believe or what my position is on something, and it works for me, and it helps me on my path in life, and helps me cope with all the bad things that happen in my life, why do I need to convert everybody else to it? What's the purpose in doing so?
When I am surfing the net I have noticed that no matter what the subject, or organization, or the thing they are promoting they sound like vultures stomping all over everyone else as if they are their enemies out to destroy them. Destroy the enemy or else. I must be victorious. I must win the battle and completely obliterate my opposition. I am the man, I am the ultimate authority, you must surrender to me or else. The whole world must succumb to me and believe the same thing I do, they must be obedient to me and my beliefs. Why?
I personally believe that this is the very core and reason for all the wars and violence, terrorism, and Dictators stamping out all their opposition. If a person studies all the past wars in history and really thinks about it, why were all these wars fought and why did so many people have to die and be destroyed. Simply because the rest of the world must believe what I believe and must succumb to my beliefs and authority. No matter what they are.
There is a saying in the 12 Step groups such as AA, Na, Ga and many others. It goes like this: Live and Let Live. I will live my life the way I think I should and I will let you live your life the way that you think you should as long as neither one of us are hurting someone else in the process.
The only reason I wrote this is just to give my readers some food for thought. Why why why must I convert the world?
