    New Research in Schizophrenia Treatment

     Being a biological scientist by training with graduate work in psychology, and having developed schizophrenia over fifty years ago at the age of thirteen, I was thrilled to see the article in the February 24, 2008 issue of The New York Times by Alex Berenson concerning the initial success of researchers in treating schizophrenia using... Read moreChevron

    Daring to Dream

    Eli Lilly's experimental drug-known as LY2140023-promises to reduce schizophrenic symptoms by acting on glutamate, a key transmitter in the brain that is a critical link in circuits involved in memory, learning and perception. With possibly fewer side effects than Zyprexa, this new drug appeared to improve cognition, something the second... Read moreChevron

    Finding the Right Doctor - A Memoir Excerpt

    In this blog entry, I describe one of the visits to see Dr. Tarnoff, a pdoc I reluctantly stayed with for five years, even though three years into the sessions I toyed with finding someone else. Next month, I'll post an entry about my first meeting with Dr. Altman, the psychiatrist who engineered the successful drug switch I was so afraid... Read moreChevron
