Every human being is at risk of becoming "psychotic," he states. "It has been said that in the German concentration camps psychosis was 100%."
"Once one agrees that something is universal, one is simply trying to describe the human condition, not make a medical diagnosis," Tarantolo advises.
Dr Stefan Kruszewski, a graduate of Princeton University and Harvard Medical School, has seen many patients who experienced one or more episodes of psychosis from medications, illicit drug withdrawal, acute stress, metabolic conditions, PTSD or other psychiatric diagnoses, "who recovered and did not re-experience problems later in life."
In his extensive clinical experience with psychotic individuals, "recovery after psychosis has been the "norm," not the exception," he says
"More significantly, and somewhat contrary to the prevailing psychiatric professional view," he notes, "the overwhelming majority of my clients in who I observed this "norm' did NOT require psychiatric medicines to sustain them."
"And, many of them who were prescribed antipsychotic medications to "thwart' another psychotic episode fared somewhat worse than those who were not prescribed any combination of antipsychotics and mood stabilizers," he adds.

Thomas Edward Bratter is president and founder of the John Dewey
Academy in Massachusetts, a residential, voluntary,
educational-treatment school for gifted but self-destructive
adolescents. This drug and medicine-free facility uses compassionate
psychotherapy.
Most students arrive at the Academy with multi DSM-IV labels to justify prescribing psychotropic poisons and receiving third party payments, Bratter says, and have been "raped by the pejorative psychiatric cartel."
