[QUOTE="Sam3, post: 718441, member: 19290"] Ugh! I'm so sorry for you guys. I hate that feeling that more might be going on than just anger issues, or substance abuse. I guess that's why when I'm not turning here for support, sometimes I find comfort in learning about the science. I'm neither a believer nor a denier of holistic approaches, but in the last few days I was reading about some interesting connections between gut microbes and mood disorders but also schizophrenia. It's way above my pay grade, but the articles mentioned the impact of intestinal flora on dopamine and serotonin dysregulation generally, but for schizophrenics in particular, I guess there are high occurrences of intestinal symptoms and yeasts that damage the lining and affect absorption or something to that effect. I mention it because probiotics are recommended. Seems like such a simple thing to try and since so many people take them just for overall health, it wouldn't need to imply anything. ( I've ordered some for our family.) And on the pharma side, I was reading that schz disease progression is greatly improved by early detection and early treatment with antipsychotics, esp these newer long acting ones they only have to administer twice a month. I may have some links if you want to message me. [/QUOTE]
