Here, I'll attach my paper if you would like to read it (with identifying information removed). Although I don't say so in the paper, this has lots of personal implications for me since my brother was schizophrenic, and I might meet the criteria for schizotaxia (and would have more certainly a few years ago before I started getting effective treatment - which has not included medication other than St. John's Wort, btw). The Schizotaxia article indicates that patients with Schizotaxia improve with Risperdal - they have negative symptoms only, no positive symptoms - so that means lessening of the negative symptoms.

I also feel that DAMP applies to me and to my brother, and I do have some abuse history also. Everything that I wrote about probably applies to me in some way. I would be interested in what my own MRI would show.

Here is my reference list:
