Better treatment: It is not better to go untreated, going untreated can be extremely dangerous. Talking to a psychiatrist and/or therapist about your concerns is vital. Antipsychotics can be hard to take but they can be a lifesaver. There are different antipsychotic meds, it's important to find the right one if that is what is needed. Don't give up on treatment. Best wishes to you.
