Parents Cope With 6-Year-Old With Schizophrenia
This is one of the most discouraging articles I’ve read in a while: today the Los Angeles Times reports on the case of a 6-year-old girl in LA who is diagnosed with schizophrenia and her parents’ desperate attempts to deal with her, find housing, etc. It’s a tough read, especially because by its end we learn that the girl is on a cocktail that includes Thorazine, possibly the worst of the first-generation antipsychotics.
The article is well done and duly notes that schizophrenia among children so young is incredibly rare.
