Should it be treated by injections with medications such as modecate. That medication gives you parkinsons disease and literally turns you into a zombie.

It is not the same as schitzophrenia.
It is however treated with the same drugs. Atypicals and typicals with typicals having more side effects. Usually anti psychotics are taken orally, they can cause side effects though everyone responds differently. What I have suffered through low doses does not affect others at all, what puts people to sleep for 2 days barely causes me to get tired. What causes me akathesia does nothing at all to another. You are not basing your views on anything other than second hand info.
The real problem is the EPS symptoms like Akathesia and TD both are nasty though have low rates amongst the newer neuroleptics.
You are talking about a typical AP which do have far worse side effects. The newer ones are far less prone and potentially even are capable of correcting certain conditions.
I have never heard of an AP causing parkinsons, I doubt it’s true and I have been researching these types for some time.
Neuroleptics may cause the zombie effect though after being on every one of them I have never experienced this. You really need to research these drugs instead of tossing about rumours which are false, unsubstantiated and really useless in any debate.
A mild psychotic is like it says, someone who os psychotic though not that as bad as others..this tends to be subjective based on anothers opinion. Doesn’t mean it’s better it just means the Pdoc thinks you are. Not jumping off of buildings trying to fly, believing to be Jesus and no doubt Mohammed though those latter folks will probably have been killed by now by the nutty peeps.
Injections are usually reserved for people already on a drug or for a fast acting effect, that particular one isn’t one which is a first line treatment, if it worries you just ask for something else. Clozapine, Risperdal, Paliperidone and so on can be great, the first one is fairly tightly regulated thoguh one of the best. – lots of blood tests.
