Education, education, education

As an alternative to clozapine and prophylatic antipsychotic medication
in children self management programmes could have potential but they
aren't enough.

A good education can set a person up for life even if their mad as a
hatter.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that I've had an exceptionally
high standard of education as a child. It has ensured that when I am out
of crisis I can thrive and I think it's what's helped me survive on my
own when I'm in crisis.

Intelligence can be created and people have observed a correlation
between better outcomes and higher intelligence.

If a child who is given a diagnosis of severe mental illness is given an
education like mine then I am confident clozapine can be banned again.
It would be a cheaper way and it would mean they would live longer too.
