I found myself in psychiatric hospital quite unexpectedly. At that time I was a complex-ridden young man with an exact mind and idealistic attitude to the world. My family lacked love and the atmosphere was cold and grim.
I was diagnosed with schizophrenia and three times a day was given painful injections with enormous doses. Slowly, I started coming back to reality but I rebelled, feeling that my problems could not be cured solely by medical treatment.
I was only taking medicines, which made me feel very ill. When after two years I tried to give the drugs up, strange thoughts and mystic experiences returned. I was taken to mental hospital for the second time.
To sum up, I can state that my full recovery was based on activities aimed at
harmonising four areas:
· Body – diet, hygiene, sport.
· Mind – widening of consciousness, visualisation, astrology, foreign languages.
· Emotions – love, forgiveness, courage, tolerance.
· Spirit – faith, meditation, prayer.
The most important thing though was the decision for a healthy and responsible life, what I had been striving for over all these years.
