[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 690670, member: 11791"] The country in question does not claim to have "wiped out schizophrenia". I believe the DSM requires [I]six months of continuous symptoms[/I] in order for that diagnosis to be given. And in this country, at the first hint of psychosis, there is intensive help - to the point that nobody gets to "six months of continuous symptoms". Individuals may fight psychotic experiences all of their life - but do not qualify for a "schizophrenia" diagnosis. It isn't a popular approach because it is NOT cheap. And it is not a cure. But surely it results in a higher quality of life for both the individual and those around them. [/QUOTE]
