Yes, it is much better to leave psychotics completely untreated so they ruin not only their own lives, but those of their spouses, children, and parents. I think what needs to happen is guardianship be granted to spouse or other adult family member who can then get their loved one the care they need without them being swallowed up by the medical complex. As a mother of a psychotic daughter, the frustration and heartache caused by watching my loving daughter transformed into an abusive and hateful person is distressful beyond words. I know she is not choosing her illness. Her ability to reason has been destroyed. It is insane and cruel to believe she has any choice in the matter.
