Having a loved one with schizophrenia, the tone is not odd at all (it is an opinion piece, not a journal). There are many people who believe schizophrenia is a sentence that means you'll be living under a bridge. I see that attitude regularly. In some cases, it is not possible to function, due to the disease; but there are a lot of people who can function, but they are told they cannot. Of course the 20 people are not a research cohort, but they are anecdotal evidence that people with schizophrenia can succeed regardless of their disease. And if you have schizophrenia, that can give you hope. And hope can bring change.
