I'm at the 15+ year mark, and it's only getting worse. I hate for the younger set to be reading these posts, though...and the discouragement they might feel. Do you think there will be better drugs/therapies on the horizon to help them, as there was to help me compared to the generations before? (Example: my mother, who was diagnosed a schizophrenic in the 1950's [she was Bipolar] and given megadoses of antipsyhcotics and ECT, and now has severe tardive dyskenesia & organic brain damage) I can only hope things will get better. I need things to get better, for the sake of my children, who might possibly inherit this monster.....
