This video is dangerous! Schizophrenia may be a brain disorder, but it's still a physical illness (the brain is a physical part of the body) like cancer or diabetes. You just can't see it like the others. You wouldn't tell someone with those illnesses to not take their meds. Side effects can be adjusted by doctors. End this dangerous stigma now! This is not something therapy can do alone.

@bookjunkie31 actually, if you want to be evidence-based, your comment is dangerous, because you are informationally incorrect. many people recover fully without medications, many with therapy alone (!), and many without any therapy at all. i suggest you do some more research before you put out uninformed statements like this.

Some individuals with schizophrenia can function without medication. However, the vast majority follow a chronic course, where medication is ABSOLUTELY necessary to reduce delusions and hallucinations, which result in substantial distress and impairment. "Atypical" medications are a major advancement. These medications have far less side affects and reduce both positive and negative symptoms. This woman is indeed, very fortunate.

@AnAcademyFightSong well....yes, the vast majority follow a chronic course....WHEN they get the meds. there is no lack of historical and modern research showing that a majority of people do not need any antipsychotics. and, by the way, the atypicals have tons of side effects, and many that the older generation neuroleptics didn't so readily cause. better to avoid them all, if at all possible.

@bookjunkie31 Quiet! Meds are evil! Its a spiritual problem, not physical.. of course it becomes physical but its spiritual based.
