Sometimes the family is the problem, however, and the person, has to go it alone. What just about everybody who disagrees with the biochemical model of the illness agrees with, is that you have to distance yourself from the medical profession in order to recover. This begins with the diagnosis. The diagnosis sends everybody down the wrong path and is a huge impediment to recovery.Rossa Forbeshttp://holisticschizophrenia.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2894514913516471357.post-30265348963474360172011-10-26T19:52:59.403-07:002011-10-26T19:52:59.403-07:00My son works as a supply custodian on an on call b...My son works as a supply custodian on an on call basis, and checks in with his psychiatrist monthly for a med check. He was supposed to be demitted from the hospital after three years and handed off to another facility , but I think he has been kept on because his"recovery" looks good for the shrink, to which he is owed NO credit, nor does CAMH get any. I believe the biggest mistake was allowing him to be diagnosed. Recovery comes from a supportive network of family and friends. SZ is all in the head of the medical system.lizclarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10056035487834019085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2894514913516471357.post-17470488090841739522011-10-26T18:21:40.137-07:002011-10-26T18:21:40.137-07:00"Why should anyone settle for less?"

It’s good to know that some people with severe forms of mental disorders are not only working, but successful at what they do. One wonders what makes these people successful, when so many people with similar disorders are disabled. Both the women featured are clearly highly intelligent and able, have found ways to manage their disorder while remaining employed, and have employers that are accommodating. If one or more of these attributes is missing, then the mentally ill person has reduced probability of life success.Harry Magnethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05440195686062716519noreply@blogger.com
