Answer by Butterfly ????????
I have a niece who has schizophrenia and she takes oral medication for it. Because it can effect her blood cells she has to have her blood checked every two weeks. I don’t remember the name of the medication, but it came out several years ago and there was actually a movie made which starred Diana Ross as a schizophrenic and putting her on the medication changed her life completely. It has done the same for my niece.
What I find so amazing is that some people actually believe schizophrenics are demon possessed.
