Yeah, my impression is it can (wrongly) seem like a rational choice among all the options. A friend of a friend recently jumped off the Bay Bridge. Before he did it, he explained that his schizophrenia meds made him mentally dull, bloated and unable to hold a job. In his mind, he was facing a life where either he constantly heard voices or couldn't live on his own, move out of his parents' house and so on. I hope researchers manage to solve this soon without the blunt hammer of current meds.
