title: Hearing voices and seeing pictures.
abstract: I have been living with a psychiatric disorder, schizophrenia, for 2 decades. I will relate how important medication is to the treatment of this illness. I will also relate how important the assessment of the level of medication to be used is to recovery. Specifically, I will explain how I learned to manage hallucinations and delusions and also how I acquired an experience which I refer to as spiritual, mystical and psychic.
