I don't know much about the treatment of schizophrenic disorders, but heard that fish oil is effective for many- much as it's effective for many for depression. Brain is made out of fat...
I still think therapy/stress reduction/coaching shouldn't be ignored, and there is a lot of literature which posits that marijuana or other drugs can bring out schizophrenia in individuals who already are at risk. (Not to restart that debate--it's a speculation that a lot of experts are bringing up- thats all.)
I'll have to reread the article- are these people who are being coerced into shots getting any therapy or other social support???Again, "schizophrenia" seems to be increasingly thought of as an umbrella term- not just one disorder. Bunch of various disorders, various symptoms, causes, and prognosises.
Thank god I wasn't worse off when that awful doctor suggested that my dislike of zyprexa was evidence of psychosis! Glad no one forces any of us to get anti-depressant shots. One can argue about how expensive depression is for society, too: unemployment, presenteeism, drug abuse, health-care costs...sounds terrible.
Organ sellers often can use the money, too-and they do such a nice favor for the buyers.
> Laima problem as I would see it with fish oil etc is that they would be paranoid to take them. Maybe first take it in steps. Eleviate the paronoia and say when it's gones off the antipschotics and lets try vitamins? I have a schizophrenic person I e-mail with who love haldol, lithium and anafranil I'll ask him what he thinks about your idea okay? Love Phillipa
