Oh you think they preserve things that people would otherwise destroy and have already partially destroyed, do you? LITTLE DO YOU KNOW!

    This appears to be someone who is literally insane, in the sense that he has a mental illness (schizophrenia?) rather than just being misinformed and stubborn.

      Yeah, I have a lot of experience helping people with early stage schizophrenia (lucky me!) and this was hard to read. They’re at that point where they’re still self aware, but they’re losing the ability to self-analyze their behavior and filter delusion from conclusion. Just gutwrenching.

          Broadly yes - although my understanding is that it doesn’t really impact the potential effectiveness of antipsychotics or therapy to “catch it early” as it were, its much much easier to get an effective treatment plan figured out when someone is still able to reliably show up to doctors appointments and trust the other people in their life.
