Yes, with good understanding on how mental illnesses work. Such as the hallucination eating at someone, Tolling, Fearing and Paining persons. Often schizos will see creatures of one thing in their mind moving about and putting actions in their mind-space which tempts to repeat the same action, it can be so strong that it literally IS an action.

Mental illness is as severe as physical illness/dis-health

You could be doing so much of what you don't want already, prior to completing chores or wage slaving, which demoralizes you. You feel as if you cannot be a part of society because of the effect of the hallucination doing stuff to your reality and harming you.

Someone not wanting to do something is also a facet of mental illness, you should explain that to doctors.

Psychiatry has made huge advances in the last couple decades, but we're still far off from understanding how to fix a brain in the way we can fix a broken bone. The most valuable info toward the completion of that goal is the lived experience of people like you who have to struggle with imperfect treatments and the daily grind with an added difficulty level. Don't despair, anon. You'll be fine, just be kind to yourself and know when to ask for help. I know having friends is hard for people like us, but try to expand your social circle and find decent people to connect with, that can make a world of difference.

You can't focus on something that blocks dopamine? No-shit, who would have expect that?

No, they didn't. "Mental health", ignoring that this is largely made-up shit with no actual back up in science, has deteriorated over the last years.
>but we're still far off from understanding how to fix a brain
Mental illness are not isolated problems in the brain, lol...
>who have to struggle with imperfect treatments
Or no actual treatments at all...

Risperidone isn't used to "treat" anything. How could it, since Risperidone is a neurotoxic chemical known to cause brain atrophy in people taking that stuff. It's primarily meant to make you shut up and cause partial paralysis so you can't act on your stupid thoughts.

I was diagnosed bipolar 1 --12 years ago -- i was on depakote / risperidone for a year, it was hell.

Then I switched to geodon and have been pretty stable for 11 years with about 1 manic episode every 5 years but was able to manage both of them at home by just taking extra geodon for a few weeks.

for me geodon is a lifesaver, but you gotta keep decreasing your dosage until you're on just enough of a dose to keep you from going into mania, I'm usually on 40mg at night only, but can go up to 80mg a day if life stressors are huge and my sleep suffers or if I start to notice manic or psychotic anomalies. I know the warning signs of mania now and can usually just do enough self care / sleep care to not fall into an episode. good luck, life was very hard in the beginning I felt like a walking dead zombie on risperidone, and for the first 3 months of geodon, until my body got used to it and i switched to nighttime only. But life is great now, I have a baby now and I'm stabile, I bet you can have the same if you are willing to learn about your body and adjust and find a doctor who wants to help you get on a low therapeudic dose, who doesn't desire to overmedicate you. I live a very clean life now, in reaction to prioritizing stability -- I do no drugs, no alcohol and log and prioritize sleep, and a daily multivitamin / vitamin d / magnesium are also important for people with bipolar.
