> > I honestly don't think he's had any hallucinations. It's clear he's tormented by un-wanted thoughts and he often does rituals, so his OCD is so out-of-control it's hard to tell some-times whether or not he's suffering with something other than his OCD and major depression. We're trying really hard to convince him to take meds., but so far it's like talking to a brick wall.

> Unwanted thoughts can be on the psychosis and schizophrenic side, but if he is also doing rituals, that sounds like OCD.
> Honestly, that is a foreign concept to me when there is the possibility that swallowing a pill could change your life and relieve the torment. Is it that he only believes in holistic cures or that the power of the mind should conquer all?
> (I think it would most likely be impossible to have a dr. offer ketamine)He's said that taking meds. will change him into a different person, not meaning it will make him have a "flat effect," but literally he feels he will become someone else
