But my point is, I had never known anybody who'd been incarcerated in my life. I've known people who've had serious brain illnesses before, but I've never had an impact like this. My family, it has changed. I have another son who's in college now. It has changed his life forever, my son's dad's life forever. Now that I know there is such an unmet need

And there's so few people who are doing anything about it. This is what I'm going to be doing.

So for somebody who is going through something like this, look for the light. Look for those glimmers. Look for where you feel the love and focus on that. Because it's so overwhelming and so daunting, you really have to notice where there's hope. For people who are not affected, we're all connected.

You have a 25% of people who have an acute onset of schizophrenia. Within the first few years, it will go away. They fully recover. I thought that schizophrenia was a sentence forever. Learning more about it, it's not. There's a good chance of recovery. 50% of people with schizophrenia will recover within 10 years of their diagnosis.

So it all supports why early intervention matters, why you need an interdisciplinary team at the onset of schizophrenia. People need to know that full recovery is possible. Also, first episode of schizophrenia is more delicate window because With the first episode, you really want to attack it right away and treat it. And there's a mortality risk, an early mortality risk by not treating it.

I think it's like a 20-fold increase in early mortality for people between the ages of 16 and 30. You don't treat the first episode of schizophrenia. It's not the movies. You know what I mean? It's not what's sensationalized in the news. It is a complicated brain disorder. It's no different than having a disorder of your body. It's an illness that can be treated. And you know what?
