I wanted to add a note to my posting. To willfully go off medication must be taken very very seriously. So let's say I take an action in a state of psychosis and I have no idea of what is going on no diagnosis no previous history, that is like taking LSD and flipping out except I've not willfully or done this intensionally, so that has to be treated as insanity when this occurs and a treatment plan is set up. If I hurt someone in this condition, I've not willfully or by any degree selected to act out, it's a state of biological imbalance so in these cases the individual is held to be not directly responsible for their actions this is correct and this is good. Now if I go off my medications, I have willfully taken action and ALL actions the individual takes after that they are now held to the same level of responsibility as everyone else regardless. So going med free must and always be seen in a larger social responsibility. If it is not, then you really are not able I think to fully embrace your genetics in a responsible way. It's irresponsible to not take full responsibility, that sense of deep responsibility helps keep you aware of your environment and what is going on with you at a much much deeper level I"m completely responsible for my actions after I am off meds this I know to my core to it's full depth.
