Absolutely. Though I’d argue that access to mental health care alone is not enough. The care has to have some quality - it needs to be effective, not harmful.

As the UK hits 35C it is hitting 55C in India, just a few Centigrade from causing instant death. This is the most heavily populated country on the planet with 1.47 billion people. More than all of North America and Europe combined. Imagine if they all have to leave.

I understand why an inquiry is necessary but any time the media report on somebody with schizophrenia it makes me feel so ashamed. I get scared people will lump me with them as if I would do the same. Not everybody with schizophrenia is violent. I have never hurt anyone.


Can schizophrenia go into remission, meaning the person no longer meets diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia?




We cannot allow a fat gap. Several countries that have never become obese like America has are going to skip it entirely and forever be skinny, even as they get rich. America must catch up. We need an easy-to-use, low-cost generic GLP-1, and we need it fast.
