In &#8221;undeveloped&#8221; countries, nearly two-thirds of schizophrenia patients are doing fairly well five years after initial diagnosis; about 40% have basically recovered. But in the USA and other developed countries, most patients become chronically ill. The outcome differences are so marked that WHO concluded that living in a developed country is a &#8221;strong predictor&#8221; that a patient never will fully recover. <\/p>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mindfreedom.org\/mindfreedom\/abm.shtml\">-from USA Today March 4, 2002 Page 13A<br \/>\n<i>Mind drugs may hinder recovery<\/i><br \/>\nBy Robert Whitaker<\/a> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>This is what we want; rape in the embrace of a self-seeking capitalism, in exchange for the promise that it will not kill us?not right away.&nbsp;  The myth of medication makes no one well, least of all those whom it makes rich.&nbsp;  Restoring humanity to the societies of the world will take a long time, but restoring humanity to ourselves can be accomplished immediately.&nbsp;  You just have to really want it, so much that you are willing to turn your back on the homicidal rapist who wants to keep you right where you are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most Americans are unaware that the World Health Organization (WHO) has repeatedly found that long-term schizophrenia outcomes are much worse in the USA and other &#8221;developed&#8221; countries than in poor ones such as India and Nigeria, where relatively few patients &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/burgwinkel.com\/blog\/?p=310\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[601,600,605,602,192,604,603],"class_list":["post-310","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","tag-india","tag-nigeria","tag-robert-whitaker","tag-schizophrenia","tag-united-states","tag-usa-today","tag-world-health-organization"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/burgwinkel.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/310","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/burgwinkel.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/burgwinkel.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/burgwinkel.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/burgwinkel.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=310"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/burgwinkel.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/310\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/burgwinkel.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=310"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/burgwinkel.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=310"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/burgwinkel.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=310"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
