Beautiful Minds

When we hear the word schizophrenia, we immediately relate it to names such as Mark David Chapman, John Lennon’s murderer, who was denied parole for the 5th time this year. The word sounds like chaos, violence and danger.
The truth is, non-treated schizophrenia can lead to all these events, but in general, people know little about the true facts of schizophrenia. And therefore, leave it as a social taboo that doesn’t offer any help to the people who suffer from it.
Illumistream gives us simple facts about schizophrenia, such as the factors that increase the risk from developing it, and what’s the percentage of the population who are affected with this illness. So that makes us look for the bright side: schizophrenia is no longer the incurable disease that was before, and people who suffer from it can be treated and have normal lives.
And even win the Nobel Prize. Just look at John Forbes Nash.
