Thing is a lot of us don't have a choice. I have previously been told if I refused medication I would be sectioned and forced to take it. And I know enough people who have been through this not to go through it myself.
I have also seen people who have refused antipsychotics make amazing progress once they started taking them.
I would very much argue with treating things like psychosis without medication. I am also very wary of encouraging people to go against doctors wishes and stop taking medication, just because it scares me as I have seen traumatic results of stopping medication without doctors consent.
