Well, I've really scoured the Web. It's unthinkable that a disease can take over people with no warning, people who in their twenties and thirties have started families and successful careers, people from good families as well as highly dysfunctional ones. I was looking at my old UA yearbooks and there the twins were on every other page--sorority president, yearbook editor, Angel Flight, Chimes, Cardinal Key, Mortar Board, ODK. Everyone wanted them on their committees because they were such good, strong workers.
It's scary that you really don't even have any protection from schizophrenia, there being no vaccine, of course, and I suppose there's no cure, only medication. And some people never get the right dose and can never function in society.
