My sister has schizophrenia. She has the weight gain, diabetes etc. She is in therapy. She is over 60 and was diagnosed in her late 20's/early 30's. Is there a better medication to help with the weight and diabetes or is it too late? Thank you for your brilliant lecture!

Thank you so much for sharing about your sister. It sounds like you’re really looking out for her, and I’m touched by how much you care. While I’m not a doctor and can’t give specific advice on medications, I do encourage you to talk with her healthcare provider. There might be options that can help with the weight and diabetes, even after all these years. It’s never too late to explore ways to improve her quality of life. Sending you both lots of love and support as you navigate this together. ❤

Refering to 21:20: I think in brief psychotic dis. only one symptom is necessary for diagnosis and not two.

You're right! I apologize for my error. According to the DSM 5TR presence of one (or more) of the following symptoms is required: 1. Delusions. 2. Hallucinations. 3. Disorganized speech (e.g., frequent derailment or incoherence). 4. Grossly disorganized or catatonic behavior. The key here is really the duration though or the "brief-ness" of it- more than 1 day, but less than 1 month.

I hear voices that make up stories and framing family and it was not true.

So sorry about that. If you go to the gear icon on the video, you can adjust the playback speed. "0.75" might make the pace sound a bit slower.
