    It mentioned during the pod cast that older generations tend to keep family affairs close to the chest and behind closed doors. So true this is. I grew up with a mentally ill mother who my grandmother lead myself and my brothers to believe was all a choice and caused by drugs. When my daughter became ill I called on any remaining family about mental illness in our family. It was discovered that my mom had a diagnosis of schizophrenia when she was 22 and that there was a long line of other members with some forms of mental illness. Now, I realize my daughter would have schizophrenia regardless of my understanding but maybe we could have recognized early signs if we were educated. I understand my grandmothers decisions though. She was a young widowed mother of 3 in the 70s with only a middle school education.

No other side effects. I am also a nurse and have heard from individuals that are happy that they are doing it.

    Such a lapse in education in the medical field when it comes to the clinical psych rotation. For both Medical doctors and nurses. It's so frustrating as a nurse when we have a patient come in for a medical condition and will be with us for several days; we'll call the MD and ask them to order the patients outpatient meds. The doctors always leave off the psych meds then wonder 3 days later what's wrong with the patient. It's terrible and so preventable.

    I listened to this episode and noted that Dr Duckworth stated that there are no dual-diagnosis treatment programs and if you have both mental illness and substance abuse, there are no programs available. I had the opposite experience in Los Angeles. I was told to say my loved one had dual diagnosis because there are many more treatment programs for substance abuse plus mental illness but not so much for "just mental illness". Also, even in the serious mental illness focused programs they seem to borrow a lot from substance abuse treatment and seem to blame the clients for their "bad" behavior. But he's right, there is no mental health "system." Thanks for the great interviews you do.

I’d like to be more public about my own situation but I don’t as I am trying to protect both my sons privacy and my relationship with him. No doubt these were areas of concern for you all too.

      @@kathrynrainbow hi this is Randye. I blogged about this , and glad you asked. When I was writing the book, my son balked at first. He still does not think he has schizophrenia. We talked about it (he was in treatment at the time, so easier to have the talk) and I explained that this was clearly a story from my point of view, not his, and I was sharing what my experience was. We also agreed to change his name. We have different last names , so no one can google him. That said, he said it was okay but that he had a different story to tell….which is true. I do wish he would write it. Also, part of him is kind of proud , oddly. Once, when he was at work, his supervisor said he thought his nephew had SZ and my son came home and asked if he could share the book with his supervisor. Whenever it involves helping someone else, Ben has a new take on things :)

    Very brave guy who seems to be doing well love and support from his family is just such a critical component it can be exhausting and not linear but that consistent love and support and encouragement is paramount As far as anasognosia I’m not certain he suffered from it it’s a distinct brain disorder that is not a part of all psychosis spectrum disorders it’s been shown it’s caused by brain damage to the part called the insula and neurological plasticity can help heal that damage in some -so insight returns - he seemed aware from day one things were changing in him not that he was fine and everyone around him had problems which is common I believe anasognosia will soon be in the DSM as a distinct disorder from psychotic disorders and just just a symptom Dr Turkington all psychosis involves anasognosia but not all with psychosis experience it in assuming that’s active vs residual as some with residual psychosis still have anasognosia even in his active state of psychosis he knew he will ill so it’s amazing and confusing !

I am not aware of any law or constitution that favors me over any other race. It certainly didn’t spare me from this dreadful illness. This is my first podcast.

      Hi Renee, I’m so sorry we gave that impression and hope you will continue to listen. As a former DEI trainer, I could not agree more that we are all one race, with different ethnicities. Part of my DEI training was to be aware that “white privilege” does exist, so that we can work to see it, acknowledge it, and change it. We try to be aware that there is statistical evidence that this awful illness happens to all, regardless of country, color, or income level…and also that, because of that, others have a different experience. Medical statistics do indicate that schizophrenia can present differently in people of color, and we don’t know why. What we try to do is acknowledge that our experience may not reflect the experience of all, with different family and sociological backgrounds. I’m also painfully aware, as a woman who raised two kids counting every penny because of being abandoned by the father of my kids (no child support), that paying medical fess meant less food on the table, and that the “fancy” facilities that cost thousands of dollars a month were not an option for me. We try to acknowledge that at times, and apologize if it comes off as prejudiced in any way. Thanks for your comment.
