Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Denise Paley: From Crisis to Advocacy

More so than other disorders of the body, full recovery is possible. I can say this, and he is my child, but my son has not had a hallucination or a delusion in more than a year. This all happened within the first few years of his onset. He is for all intents and purposes fully recovered.

I have no reason to believe he will have an episode ever again based on the data, based on what is known about this illness. So people shouldn't make it so taboo. People should be proactive in treating it. If you think this is happening to your loved one, be on top of it.

Another thing I'll tell you is that it was in our family. We learned after this happened to my son that it was in our family. Nobody had disclosed it, that he had the genetic predisposition for this. Another reason I encourage everybody to not be afraid of stigma. My family, Ellis's brother, his dad, we are in this with two feet. We are not hiding from what it is.

I could not agree with you more. They want to, people want to just like stick with their preconceived notion and their existing biases. And then they're uncomfortable when they're thinking about things another way. Schizophrenia, it's not something that happens on a dime. You know, people think my son left on paper. He went to the library and he never came home. To us, it was on a dime.

Now that we know more about it and what was going on with him, Jackson had first appeared to him at the library back in August. So this happened in January. But because he did not know he was sick, he had anosognosia, he did not, he didn't share anything. I wonder, and we can't go back, had we known it was in the family, would we have been looking at things a little bit more closely?

Our son was 18 years old. He was a senior in high school. There were a few little nuances with his behavior that were out of character. We're like, he is trying to find his own way. We didn't really know what to make of it. On average, it takes about 11 months for a doctor to diagnose someone with schizophrenia. So it's not an easy diagnosis. There's actually a program in Connecticut.
