I asked this a couple years ago. A lots happened

How many years until it’s possible to effectively treat schizophrenia. It’s not necessarily cured but treated so effectively that most people who have it live as if they don’t.

Alright round 2. The A.I. years.

  • 3 years (essentially the drugs that are being researched now do it)
  • 5 years
  • 10 years
  • 15 years
  • 20 years
  • 30 years
  • More the 30 years

The NHS had a figure or statistic of 10 years for good remission, including things like voluntary work or part time work

Meaning that they think in 10 years medicine will be in a place where most people with schizophrenia will have achieved that level of recovery?

My guess is March 6th, 2037 at 1:33 pm and 22 seconds is when we will have this completely effective treatment with no side effects.

By coincidence, this is also the same day that skynet will go live.

And also the same day that the first of the flying pigs will be spotted. :stuck_out_tongue:

Same year and day but I had it at 4:39. Great minds. In all seriousness though I think a lot of people on this forum are way to cynical when it comes to there timeline for this sort of thing. If you were to make the argument that we blow are selves up before it happens I’d be less skeptical but to think if we don’t it’s not going to happen sooner then later is a little tone def to me. Things just seem to be happening so quickly these days.

Maybe it will. Maybe it wont. I can tell you a short example of why I am skeptical.

When I was like 18 I watched this documentary on how soon we would all have the cure for aging. They talked about cell renewal and how we would all soon be fighting for resources because we could all live forever. I think it was on HBO.

Well, here I am 34 years later, still aging. Still that much closer to death. No cell renewal. Promises, promises, is all I can say.

Buy hey, at least we dont have to have an immortals war for resources for awhile.

I get that. Part of me also hopes you’re right. As much as I’d like to not have schizophrenia I’d rather have it then Skynet.
