Psychological and spiritual components are as important or more important for you. Thoughts and feelings can change neurochemistry, just as chemistry can change feeling and behavior .

But you must decide whether you are going to pursue reality and health or to retreat into your fantasies. You have the right to retreat, but do it all the way and take up residency at the state hospital. You will be well cared for there. If you decide for reality, you will have a long fight ahead, but I can assure you that reality is worth the fight. When you make up your mind, let me know .

I did my graduate research paper on the biochemistry of schizophrenia. Intellectually, I believe that most serious mental illness has a biological component and that the visible results are partly a personality reaction to a body that can’t be trusted .

If a mentally ill person really works at self – control, she can do most things she could do otherwise .

Mental illness is an illness, not an excuse for irresponsibility .
