Abstract:
The main reason that we generally consider it impossible to recover is that we generally believe that disorders such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s are caused by diseases of the brain. We have yet to come across a single case of someone making a complete recovery from the well-established diseases of the brain. Not only is full medication-free recovery from schizophrenia possible, it’s surprisingly common.Keywords: PET, MRI, and fMRI; life circumstances; longitudinal recovery studies; pre-psychotic condition; motivation-inhibiting drugs; antipsychotics
