Hi ,

John nash's story is one that I take interest to. To the best of my knowledge john had received his education and had done his work on game theory , at least the work he got the nobel for, prior to his psychotic break. John is treated as royalty at the university because of his ground breaking work but also because it adds to the mystique and culture at the university. He is treated as a free spirit and spurned genius lets face it , is sexy. That is not to say his story is still not remarkable.

Elyn Saks takes clozapine , a drug that is very good for psychotic symptoms but has a troubling side effects profile.5% of psychotic patients are prescribed it.

I am not here to run down sz sufferers but I think it unusual that psychiatry and antipsychiatry makes claims that don't seem accurate to me.

Psychiatry seem to be exaggerating the benefits of the drugs and proponents of med free recovery seem to have a cognitive base that are not consistent with the cognitive deficits of the disorder.
