As someone with firsthand experience of a sibling with schizophrenia, this comment comes off incredibly callous and ignorant.

I encourage you to learn more about this disease because you’re gravely mistaken—it is not a transient condition of early adulthood nor is untreated isolation on anyone’s treatment plan. The disease often presents in early adulthood and is a lifelong affliction thereafter. Left untreated, the condition worsens. Drugs are taken for life because the condition is incurable.

Despite the risks, I am extremely grateful for Clozapine because it’s given me time back with my brother from this horrible disease. We’ve been through a gamut of medicines and treatments like Cobenfy are welcome. Like most families, we are jubilant at the prospect of finding better treatment options with fewer risks and side effects.
