Loading ...My experience with mental health services is a result of my older son Peter being diagnosed with schizophrenia when he was 19. Peter is now 45 and I count him as a sort of success story, given the seriousness of his condition.
Since those days, Peter has been put on more modern medication. He has gained a university degree in Mathematics (it took 20 years); he works as a teaching assistant in [a university] math department […]; he takes benefit from the Centre for the Disabled at that University; he continues his education with law courses; he works as a security guard sometimes; he volunteers for many causes; he lives with a woman who also has schizophrenia; and he counsels and advises other people he knows who have this condition or some similar mental problem. —Carol
