Did anyone see this last night? I taped the second half and watched it today. Very interesting. I read a book years ago about a woman who managed to reclaim power over her schizophrenia so I knew that it could be done.
The thing that interested me most was the abusive voice she heard in her head. It turned out to be the voice of a school bully who'd taunted her for two years in secondary school!
It's amazing to me that these type of illnesses can be confronted and overcome. We mostly don't have the resources to put the time or money that's needed into it. What a tragedy. So many people living on pills for the rest of their lives. Of course, these two (the girl on TV and the girl in the book) may be isolated cases. I know there are degrees of affliction. But the girl on TV was hearing voices telling her to kill herself and her parents! Is that normal for the illness or severe? I'm not medically trained so have no idea.
I'm so hoping some other folk saw this! ........
