THIS SWITCH TO DIGITAL TV IS DRIVING ME FUCKING CRAZY
---
Paul A. Toth

Questions from Phillips Digital Widescreen TV FAQ:
Answers from ALT.SUPPORT.SCHIZOPHRENIA:

What's all the talk about going digital?

Your best course of action at this point is probably to listen to your therapist. If he or she prescribes you medication, it would be wise at this stage to take the medication as prescribed and continue to do so until you are stable enough to make your own decisions regarding this touchy issue.

Why is the FCC requiring digital?

Here's a few added features: hearing voices that can't be understood to be from one's own mind; strange postures of limbs; fears and anxieties that seem out of proportion; wild thinking; and even depression.

What makes DTV better than my current TV?

It's TRUE, I tell you! Loving between two people with schizophrenia is sometimes best. In modern medicine there is thought to be no difference sexually between those with schizophrenia and those without.

Do I have to get a new TV set?

There are solutions! One is to aid focusing on the here and now with medication, or coaching therapy. Many practical solutions are simple folklore or rather medical folklore solutions. In other words, these solutions do not work for everyone. A healthy lifestyle is recommended for all.

When will digital TV sets be available?

God loves you no matter what you may think right now. Courage is not necessarily bravado; sometimes it is a crawl.
