Portrait of Schizophrenia and Its Victims

I want to congratulate you and Patrick Mott on his very fine article on schizophrenics.

I think the article was very enlightening, very factual and very helpful in making the public understand schizophrenics’ difficulties.

However, I would like to point out one area that has been overlooked when schizophrenics attempt to live on their own. It is extremely important that their medication be accurately monitored so that their doctors can have confidence that the medication is being taken as prescribed.
