The Associated Press brings us this story about researchers in Jerusalem who have developed another kind of diagnostic test that might be useful in diagnosing schizophrenia. One thing they don't discuss is its efficacy depending on if someone is or isn't currently in a psychotic state. This won't replace current diagnostic tests, but looking toward the future, there may be more precise and hi-tech ways to diagnose this illness. I say: hooray for science!

In this video I want to hear from you all about how you find support. A few people have asked me about how people with no support go about getting support and how people deal with losing support systems. I wonder about these same things and I thought maybe we could brainstorm ways of dealing with finding support systems. Let me know what you think by emailing me at schizhelper@gmail.com since the comments aren't working. I'll compile the responses and make another video about this topic. Thanks!

In this video I talk about my recent trip up North to Seattle where I participated in the NIMH (National Institute of Mental Health) Research Study conducted in conjunction with the University of Washington and the VA Medical Center. Thank you to my wonderful researchers who made the entire process a joy!
