I don't think I can put it in any better words. And in that young energetic age we still think we are so wise. But as we grow old we realize how wrong we have been.

And I completely agree with you that we need to learn a lot about schizophrenia. I mean I don't know why to begin with we even tried to separate body's physiology from psychology. All drugs ever developed focused on treating behavioural symptoms. I mean for a long time we didn't really consider the fact that both metabolic disorders and psychology could share same pathogenesis. It is only recently that studies started calling for metabolic care of mentally ill patients. Now I can also see papers testing in details affects of antipsychotic on weight gain and glucose clearance. The drug development testing this in animal testing phase. In fact I was most surprised to see the clinical trial for metformin for patients on antipsychotics. Looks quite promising too. Surprisingly, I have not the doctor treating a friend mine prescribing it. And she has been gaining weight as well. Not sure if it is the isolated case or no one on antipsychotic drugs receives the precautionary measure?
