neutral And Schizophrenia? And Bipolar? Borderline Personality Disorder? Narcissistic Personality Disorder?
Most of them have alternative treatments based upon explanations outside of the ones that are widely accepted that have bore effective results.
Before understanding the treatments you have to understand how such mental illnesses were determined to be mantle illnesses as well as what exactly the "Treatments " are made of.
A person with bi-polar can be cured just through perception alteration therapy, it starts with altering the perception within the parts of their mind they are openly aware of while it works it's way effectively into their subconscious.
Schizophrenics used to be lobotomized as to treat them, psychiatry still hasn't transcended that far beyond their "Chemical Lobotomy" sales scheme. Anyhow, even people who were Schizophrenic have been cured. The greater cases of Schizophrenia have often been proclaimed to be possessions, anyhow the explanation for this can be found in barely explored fields that I feel it necessary to not go into at this moment. Within the so called possessions it is often claimed that a sort of field of energy envelopes the person proclaimed to be possessed, the person lashes out in complete repulsion to many religious icons, but funny thing is every documented event this happened on, the "Evil Spirit" "Possessing" the person would often remark to being someone who has died long before the person being "possessed" had actually been born, anyhow the same could be said for split personality disorder.
Anyhow, I only felt it necessary to mention the "possession" claims as believe it or not serious medical degrees do require some looking into such things as the explanations are especially under-developed aside from religious idiocy ignoring that atheists don't get "Possessed" and ignoring that even non Abrahamic religious icons are also lashed out on from time to time.
Some of these "Mental Illnesses" are simply variable forms of brain damage, most don't have scientific explanations but rather an explanation regarding what the perception of that person is and how their subconscious self works, and very few are simply sourced from questionable documentation and without modern scientific explanations for it.
Narcissistic personality disorder (Unlike Aspergers Syndrome) can not be determined until someone is at a considerably (Physically) matured age, this fact here is critical in pointing out how Narcissism has to do with a person's upbringing and environment and the contribution it has made to their perception and subconscious self.
Psychiatry is only seen as a respectable form of "Science" (By only some) because their hypothesis that such behavior is caused by chemical imbalances in the brain sounds scientific and is promoted quite often as fact regardless to the fact that there is no way to measure the chemical composition of the brain while it is still living and functioning. Many times has an effort been made to try and prove this conclusion correct however it fails each time.
