Anti-psychiatry is sometimes known as "critical psychiatry." Its not necessarily strictly opposed to medication. Yet it generally seeks to minimize its usage.
They look at mental illness as being caused by interpersonal and psychological factors rather than physiological/genetic factors.
I also recognize that because schizoid spectrum disorders are relatively rare it won't be easy finding one who is mainstream in his beliefs nonetheless one who is outside the mainstream. (the fear of litigation keeps people from practicing openly) Someone who has done a lot of work with schizoids would be ideal but not necessary.
Also i'm not a schizophrenic. At least nott according to the last diagnosis. I've had numerous conflicting diagnosis's though. I have a number of symptoms which overlap with schizophrenia and that makes it difficult to diagnose me under the DSM system of classification.
