Schizophrenia
"My daughter was prescribed Clozaril as a last resort because I refused to allow her to be admitted to a state hospital. Every other med combination had been tried for 5 years during which she was constantly psychotic, in and out of the hospital. That was nearly 3 years ago and she improves in  tiny increments every day. We have learned a great deal during this 8 years: that most psychiatrists don&#039;t understand how to treat mental illness because most they don&#039;t believe in neurotransmission disorders. They really think &quot;behavioral health&quot; is about poor choices caused by emotional trauma. Clozaril is the only effective med and it is used as a last resort in the USA. The shame is that it is a front line &quot;gold standard&quot; med in Great Britain."
