Having worked with more than my fair share of schizophrenics over the years, I've seen some very bad cases. I'm glad she hasn't hurt herself or anyone else (physically, I mean), but of course, the downside, if you will, of that is it makes treating her against her will very complicated from a legal standpoint. I hope the judge in the impending hearing orders that she can be treated despite her objections.<br /><br />I'm guessing you don't know, but this is Mental Illness Awareness Week. You've done a fine job raising awareness by posting about your neighbor, so thanks for that.Lee Ann Thillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16444534323119682711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2855720275973205353.post-49518823005761551662010-10-07T19:03:44.524-07:002010-10-07T19:03:44.524-07:00WOW!!!!!!!!
