To the OP, thanks for encouraging others to think about mental illness and improving the situation in the US.
Side note to others - in my experience with people with schizophrenia, they usually prefer to be referred to as just that, "a person with schizophrenia", not "a schizophrenic". People are more than just their illness.
- alanctgardner2 14y agoThis is in line with the APA recommendation for referring to anyone with a disability - psychological or physical. They aren`t characterized by their disability; they`re a person foremost.
