You'll get nothing but wholehearted agreement from me. People who like playing with their brains should play very gently. Congratulations, by the way, on your continuing recovery and your willingness to speak up.
The diagnostic criteria for any of the schizophrenias require continuing psychotic symptoms (delusions or hallucinations) for
six months or more without any illicit drugs on board. I'd call that very significant damage. I hope anyone reading along will take asdf's warning to heart.
