Dr. Phil on Schizophrenia
We didn't see the Dr. Phil program on Schizophrenia on Wednesday, Nov. 23rd - but the commentary in our discussion areas has been mixed. Many people thought it was a valuable educational show for schizophrenia and well received by many people who have schizophrenia and their family members. Other commentary seems to be that Dr. Phil doesn't seem to have much experience with serious mental illnesses - and since its a TV program more interested in ratings (by emphasizing the more dramatic delusions or hallucinations that can sometimes be associated with schizophrenia) than in educating and helping people.
So, overall, mixed reviews - but the coverage is good.
That said - you can find out more about the program that aired earlier this week (and order transcripts or copies of the program) at the following links:

Hi, I just did a research paper on this topic. The age set is anywhere from adolescence to young adulthood (around the age of 39).

People w/ schizophrenia do not know that they have this disorder... so this person usually does nothing. It is usually family members or the police that take schizophrenic people in to get better

people with schizophrenia have synmptoms of delusions, halluinations, disorganized speech, disorganized behavior, and inappropriate affects (like laughing or ctying at innapropriate times). They can be prescribed antipsychotic medications, such as narcoletptics. patients dont see anything wrong with them so they are non-compliant to take the medication. There is also psychosocial interventions, such as institutionalization, therapists, ect.

Dan,you are generalizing. Some of us are fortunate enough to be aware that our minds are out of control,prior to medical help. Yes, it is a constant self-battle, butI think we are getting where we can win the war. Abilify has changed my life.
