- switching meds is not a new thing - sometimes people develop secondary effects from prolonged use of the major pyschotropic drugs (tardive dyskinesthia being one) so some switching is done to forstall this - also newer drugs come out that might be given a trial run -
- the diagnosis issue is not new either but is, in some some respects, irrelevant to the matter of the decision making process and responsibility here
- if the legal guardian and the woman in question both feel a try of reiki might be 'enlightning' then they can make that decision and seek out a Reiki Master who will agree to work with them (social workers do not prescribe meds, as far as I know so I still urge that the prescribing physician be contacted)
- it is also important too that whomever does the Reiki tell them it is not a substitute for medications and that there is a slight possibilty that the woman may have an "unpleasant" experience" - remember, schizophrenics have major trouble interpetting their experiences which would include their experience of the Reiki
- hope this helps
Reiki All Around,
All Blessings,
Firekeeper
