These videos were great, informative and unbelievable. Thank you.

Well done and if 100% factual very scary! I am browsing this site because I am a parent of an adult child who is diagnosed as schizoaffective-and while he never heard voices-it was amazing how every mental health professional tried to get him to say he heard voices. It was as though they wanted to have him fit into every postive and negative symptom of classical schizophrenia. During his first hospitalization I had insurance that covered him-I soon found out there was a lifetime limit of $5,000-so when the hospital/doctors found this out-he was quickly declared okay to go home-on discharge they gave him a double dose of Prolyxin IM-(no Cogentin was prescribed) so he suffered every extrapyramidal side effect possible-really too much to detail-but his drugs were changed so frequently over the first 3 years of his illness I lost count-just look up every possible drug used to treat schizophrenia and he has been on it. After 8 years of treatment, he is still ill-and continues to have severe episodes of paranoia. There are no longer bouts of serious depression or mania-and other than the paranoia he is "okay". I continue to hope that he becomes stable-at least to where he understands he is ill-he has refused to acknowledge this and still claims he is not ill. This makes his compliance some times questionable. Every time he is doing well he stops his meds, "as he doesn't need them". It ends the same way-a serious set back-usually hospitilazation and the struggle to yet try another combination of the drugs he has already been on throughout his illness as what was working-now doesn't seem to be working. I still have difficult time believing that insurance companies are permitted to have these caps on metal illness--it reflects our society mind set as a whole-"If you have a mental illness-it really isn't real-like cancer-so it is not serious or that important."
