A Cure is Not As Far Away As You Think

Scientists and Researchers are hot on the trail of curing many different disorders and malodies, and they could come up with a cure for schizophrenia in as little as 10-15 years. Imagine state mental hospitals becoming a thing of the past, or the prospect of someone with schizophrenia living on the streets now--and soon becoming gainfully employed!

Well, I am not sure if the picture is all that rosy, but it is certainly promising that the people in the know have a timeline to shoot for. Even if they could virtually stop all of the symptoms for 50% of those that suffer from serious mental illness, that would be a feat.

For now, though, we still need to rely on our current treatment programs to manage our illnesses--and each case is different. So if you are getting help and have a program to follow, good. If not, see a professional psychiatrist as soon as possible.
