Yes the current Antipsychotics have helped me with functioning, and even out my mood shifts but at a cost.

I have developed Diabetes, Tachychardia. Agitation, Liver issues, Kidney issues, High Lipid count, massive weight gain, sexual dysfunction, retrograde ejaculation, Gynecomastia, High Blood Pressure etcā€¦ thanks to the current batch of APs.

I am sorry, but I really do not feel that enough progress has been made - they can do better

If society remains ignorant it is not rational for a schizophrenic to come out. If schizophrenics do not come out to show there is nothing to fear society will remain ignorant. Anyone smells a Nash-equilibriumā€¦?
