Scott,
We need to stop making this an either or situation.
If someone with schizophrenia prefers meds, that choice should be respected.
If they don't want meds, that should be respected also.
Some people with BP and schizophrenia will take meds on an emergency basis but once the crisis has passed will discontinue them. That choice should be respected.
There is the hearing voices network which is a support group for people who want help in dealing with their voices. Here is the link to the Yahoo Groups List:
