Does hypnosis help people with schizophrenia?
The majority of individuals with schizophrenia are treated with antipsychotic medications. These drugs are quite effective but they also possess many adverse effects such as weight gain and metabolic changes like elevated lipids and glucose.
Some professionals in alternative healthcare recommend hypnosis for these patients. This is nonsense -most patients with schizophrenia are paranoid, afraid, have labile mood, are often hallucinating, have poor interpersonal skills and often keep to themselves.
It is hardly likely that a schizophrenic is going to sit down with a therapist and undergo bullshit hypnosis for 15-30 minutes. Schizophrenics just do not have the concentration or attention span to chit chat and undergo some bogus mantra.
Hypnosis is not a realistic treatment for these patients. In any case, analysis of studies indicate that hypnosis does not work for schizophrenia. A complete waste of money and time. Hypnosis is still looking for something it can treat. Only stupid and gullible people go for hypnosis.
