ARE YOU...A MOTHER, A FATHER who has lost all hope of being able to help your child…A WIFE, A HUSBAND who struggles to mentally support a loved one lost in a deep dark place…A STUDENT, AN ADULT, A VETERAN who fears life itself and has dropped out school and work…A PSYCHIATRIST who has diligently tried every antipsychotic medicationfor your patient but with no success…A PSYCHOLOGIST who has watched with frustration as your patient swirls on a merry-go-round of hospitals and wilderness escapes…A SOCIAL WORKER who has helplessly witnessed your client lurch down a destructive path…THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU.When the Laitman’s son Daniel was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia just before his 16th birthday...they thought that, as physicians, they would be able to negotiate the psychiatric healthcare maze easier than most families. They were told early on that the medication clozapine would be Daniel’s best chance at living a normal life, but found it was prescribed in very few cases. There was also a lack of comprehensive information on how to mitigate any side effects and how to use the medication to get the best outcome. This book is Dr. Lewis Opler’s story of the beginnings of clozapine, why it came to be regarded by much of the psychiatric community as a medication of last resort, and why that should no longer be the case. You’ll also read the story of Daniel’s recovery both from his perspective and that of his parents and learn how to help your practitioner use clozapine optimally to help in the journey toward living a fulfilled life after the diagnosis of schizophrenia.
