Thank you. And thanks to your blog and those of others like you, hopefully the general population will become more enlightened, and less frightened, over time. Right now, I am not sure if I 'get' schizophrenia myself, but I am going to keep on trying! Toddler has been off school today, but I can't wait to get up to the University again tomorrow and confound a few more expectations.

Amazing that this knowledgeable group could cluck about schizophrenia while spreading falsehoods that they've bought from pharma and the medical-industrial juggernaut. They just don't "get" schizophrenia. Everybody "understands" depression, of course. <br /><br />My favorite line of your post: <br /> <br /> "I was fine to speak to when she thought I was 'Owning my Illness' but once I disclosed that I was 'In Denial' she just couldn't cope." <br /><br />Mind if I swipe your post for my blog today? Full credit to you, of course. <br /><br />Re David Cameron and a diagnosis of schizophrenia, I would have loved to say to the ex-Prime Minister of Norway, who spoke at an event that I attended this week, that nobody, but nobody would own up to a diagnosis of schizophrenia if they were in his position. Game over for any possibility of re-election. His time limited depression, while devastating, does not give him insight in schizophrenia, which, I would wager, he still thinks of as a chronic mental illness.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06700295858497275586noreply@blogger.com
